Radiochemical neutron activation analysis for 36 elements in geological material: Au, Ag, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ge, In, Ir, Ni, Os, Pd, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Sn, Te, Tl, U, and Zn as well as Sc, Y, and REE

In lunar and terrestrial rocks and in meteorites, the radiochemical neutron activation method decribed here enables determination of the 21 trace and ultratrace elements Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ga, Ge, In, Ir, Ni, Os, Pd, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, U, Zn, as well as 13 rare earth elements (REE), Sc and Y. Materials, techniques and procedures are discussed. 81 refs.
