| Abstract: | Instrumental neutron activation analysis technique was applied for the determination of 20 elements in 54 silicate rock samples which belong to three sedimentary geological formations located in the western desert of Iraq. The samples along with USGS standards were irradiated in an IRT-5000 reactor at a neutron flux of 3.7·1013 n·cm–2·s–1 The following minor and trace element constituents have been determined: Na, K, Ca, Fe, Sc, Cr, Co, Zr, Ce, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Th and U. |
