Notes:
An x-ray fluorescence technique involving a 30 mCi 238Pu as a source of primary radiation and a two-channel thin NaI(Tl) crystal spectrometer was developed for the analysis of coal ash samples. The geometry of the source-target-detector assembly is described. The ash content is estimated using an x-ray backscattering method which includes compensation for iron x-ray fluorescence. About 120 Indian coal samples were analysed and the results show that the ash content varies from 10 to 40%.
