Summary
FNAA has been, for many years, a technique for the non-destructive analysis of a wide variety of sample materials - liquids, solids and powders. The important advantages of fast neutron activation analysis are good analytical sensitivity without sample preparation, accuracy and total analysis in a short time. In our work, the concentrations of the elements Na, Mg, Ai, Si, K, Ct, Ca and Fe, were determined in cigarette tobacco of two brands commercially available in Turkey using 14.6 MeV neutron activation analysis.
