Abstract The production rates (numbers of atoms per gram of the respective elements per second) of 40 radioactive nuclides of 34 elements by neutron capture reactions in a reactor were determined from about 130 photopeaks of the γ-ray spectra. The ratios of these production rates were called R-matrix elements. These production rates and the respective thermal neutron capture cross sections were used to calculate the respective apparent neutron fluxes at the position of irradiation and the κ-matrix elements which were the ratios of these apparent neutron fluxes. These matrix elements express clearly the correlations among various elements and thus may be used in the mono-standard or small-number-standards method in neutron activation analysis.
