THE DETERMINATION OF ALUMINUM AND CHLORINE IN COMPOSITE PROPELLANTS BY NON-DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVATION ANALYSIS USING A MIXTURE OF 14/5 MEV AND SLOW NEUTRONS.

Abstract

Aluminum and chlorine can be determined simultaneously with a precision of better than plus or minus 1% by activation analysis utilizing a mixture of 14.5 MeV and slow neutrons. The accuracy compares favorably with X-ray fluorescence and indicates that activation analysis can be a valuable method for the quality control of solid composite propellants. (Author)
