Abstract
A fast pneumatic transfer facility was installed in Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory NETL of the University of Texas at Austin for the purpose of cyclic thermal and epithermal neutron activation analysis In this study efforts were focused on the evaluation of cyclic epithermal neutron activation analysis CENAA Various NIST and CANMET certified materials were analyzed by the system Experiment results showed 110Ag with its 25 s halflife as one of the isotopes favored by the system Thus the system was put into practical application in identifying silver in metallic ores Comparison of sliver concentrations as determined by CENAA in CANMET certified reference materials gave very good results
