dc.description.abstractA fast pneumatic transfer facility was installed at the 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 work 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 as one of the isotopes favored by the system. Thus, the system was put into practical application for identifying silver concentration in the Arctic atmospheres in air filters collected in 2009, and traces in metallic ores Comparison of silver concentrations via CENAA with the CANMET certified reference materials gave very good results.en
