Abstract
The program EPAA has been written to perform neutron activation analysis calculations on a personal computer. It reads gamma-ray spectra from disk, calculates peak areas using interactive computer graphics, corrects interferences, and calculates the concentrations of the elements chosen by the user with the improved relative standardization method. This method is suitable for use with reactors with reproducible neutron fluxes. Calibrations are performed for all elements in standard counting geometries and are used for subsequent analyses over a long period of time.
