Abstract

Iodine, thallium and uranium were determined by photon activation analysis. Two electron linear accelerators were used for the analysis of several kinds of environmental, biological and geochemical reference materials under different irradiation conditions. Both analytical results for iodine were in good agreement with each other but not with literature values in the case of environmental samples. The results of thallium and uranium agreed well with their reference values. The detectable concentration levels of iodine, thallium and uranium were almost 0.3μg/g.
