Abstract
Because of incresing problems due to the general non-acceptance of the application of open radioactivity in modern industrial research an investigation was made concerning the possibility of replacing radiotracers by inactive substances activated by photons after sampling. As an example, investigations in the glass-processing industry was selected. The results were confirmed by the radiotracer experiment performed in parallel. The data obtained were in good agreement.
