Description
Summary:In this work, we aim to study the performance of the k0-standardization method in neutron activation analysis when using the Kayzero for Windows software at the National Center for Energy, Sciences, and Nuclear Techniques (CNESTEN) of Morocco. Accuracy and precision were ensured by using certified reference materials from the IAEA, NIST, and WEPAL. Samples were irradiated using the pneumatic transfer system and rotary specimen rack facilities of the TRIGA Mark II research reactor at CNESTEN. The obtained results agree well with the certified values, thus demonstrating their accuracy and the success of the method’s implementation.
