Activation Service

Neutron Activation service provides two facilities: the PNA ( Preparative Neutron Activation) for the production of isotopes and the NAA ( Neutron Activation Analysis). These services have a long tradition at PSI. They started in the early 60s of the last century at the research swimming pool reactor SAPHIR and are continued at the SINQ.
