## Abstract Charged particle activation analysis is used for the determination of boron, carbon and nitrogen in zircaloy. Carbon can be determined instrumentally using the ^12^C (d,n) ^13^N reaction. For the determination of boron and nitrogen the ^10^B (d, n) ^11^C and the ^14^N (ฮฑ, ฮฑn) ^13^N reac

Coal samples are irradiated with 3He ions to produce "C, 13N, and 18F via the following nuclear reactions : 12C(3He, 4He)11C; 12C(3He, d)13N; 160(3He, p)18F. By comparing the "C to 18F pro- duction, a direct comparison of the amounts of carbon and oxygen present in the coal samples can be obtained.
The particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method and the 14N(d,p)15N nuclear reaction are combined for simultaneous trace element and nitrogen determination. Measurement of nitrogen content often allows the relating of the elemental concentrations determined by PIXE to the protein content of the sa
