In-Vivo Neutron Activation Analysis And Associated Dosimetry

Abstract

The use of neutron activation analysis in vivo for the measurement of calcium in the human body has proved to be a more accurate and less hazardous technique than many other methods currently used. The health hazard associated with this technique is determined in this study by a method of neutron dosimetry, based on the radiation damage in plastics caused by neutron induced fission fragments…
