✦ Synopsis

A domestic phosphate ore sample has been analysed by means of prompt and delayed ,/-ray spectrometry following the activation by thermal neutron capture technique. The pneumatic irradiation rabbit system (PIRS), long-time irradiation facility and two Pu/Be (2.5 Ci each) neutron sources set-up for prompt (n, y) were supplied. The high purity coaxial germanium (HPGe) 7-ray spectrometer with a personal computer analyzer (PCA) system were used for spectrum measurements. Programmes on the VAX computer were utilized for estimating the elemental concentrations of 22 out of 36 elements identified in this work.
