The use of delayed neutron counting for uranium analysis in biological tissue and its application to a pharmacokinetic study in weanling rats

Creator:

Nelson, Philip D.

Abstract:

Delayed neutron counting (DNC) is a variation of neutron activation analysis applicable only to fissionable elements. Briefly, it involves exposing a sample to the neutron flux in a reactor to induce fission, then quickly retrieving the sample to count the delayed fission neutrons emitted. These are proportional to the amount...
