Popis: An automatic measurement system for activation analysis has been developed at the La Reina Nuclear Center of the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission. A gamma-ray spectrometer equipped with an automatic sample changer is linked to an IBM-compatible PC/AT. The peripheral devices are interconnected and suitable software for routine operation have been prepared. The computer handles solenoid valves and microswitch sensors. The gamma-spectra are stored in the hard disk and later transferred to a main frame computer where all the information is processed to obtain final results. The system is in full operation and the operation manuals that have been prepared allow it to be used by people who are not trained in activation analysis.
