✦ Synopsis

Prompt y-ray neutron activation analysis of "B concentrations in biological samples was carried out using a germanium detector and single crystal silicon filtered neutron beams from the TRIGA-II reactor.

The '"B concentrations of biological samples such as tumors, tissues, blood and cultured cells were estimated from calibration curves obtained by using standard samples containing various 'OB concentrations. A method of measuring absolute 'OB concentrations was also presented.
