Abstract: | The possibility to use the most intensive gamma-peak of239Np for INAA of uranium with epithermal neutrons and high resolution Ge(Li)-spectrometry is evaluated. A way for calculation
of the peak area of overlapping peaks of153Sm and239Np is proposed. This can be used in other similar cases in the practice of NAA. On this basis a scheme for NAA of uranium
in geological objects is proposed. Lower detection limit is 8·10−8 g U the precision 5–10% (relative standard deviation). The accuracy is demonstrated by the analysis of some geological standard
reference materials. |
