✦ Synopsis

N 16 is one of the radioactive isotopes which produced in Tehran Research Reactor coolant with gamma energy 6 MeV. This article reviews the potential risks of this isotope and in addition, it will be shown that the rate of production of N 16 can be used to measure the reactor power and that they have a linear relation by good approximation.
