Abstract

This paper presents the results of the application of a fast rabbit system and a high thermal neutron flux to neutron activation analysis of selenium in environmental samples. The short-lived radionuclide^77mSe, (17.5s) is used for analysis. Results are presented for selenium in sea-water and rain-water, in biological reference materials, in food-stuffs and milk powder, in human hair and human blood-serum.
