What Does FNAA Stand For?

FNAA stands for Fast Neutron Activation Analysis

Fast Neutron Activation Analysis (FNAA) is a sensitive analytical technique used for the elemental determination of materials. By employing fast neutrons to induce nuclear reactions, FNAA generates characteristic gamma rays that can be measured to identify and quantify various elements within a sample. This method is particularly valuable in fields such as geology, environmental monitoring, and materials science, as it allows for rapid analysis with minimal sample preparation and non-destructive testing capabilities. FNAA offers advantages in accuracy, efficiency, and the ability to analyze a wide range of elements simultaneously.
