Abstract

The facilities for instrumental neutron activation analysis in Delft are described. Technical details of the fast rabbit systems, the normal pneumatic rabbit system, the large sample facility and the various coaxial and well-type Ge-detector spectrometers and sample changers are given. The capacity of the facilities is in the order of 15,000 samples per annum for full multi-element analysis. The capacity of the fast rabbit systems for INAA for use with short half-life radionuclides is even larger. The facilities are accessible for use by scientists from other establishments and countries as well.
