The results were compared with those using the neutron Irradiator, which has a stable neutron flux, and they were compatible. The viability, advantages, and limitations of using this analytic procedure are discussed.openAccesschemical compositioncobalt 56europium 152experimental datagamma spectrometershigh-purity ge detectorsiear-1 reactorirradiation devicesneutron activation analysisneutron sourcessoilsurban areasTexto completo de eventohttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7766-2692
