Abstract
Neutron activation analysis for bismuth in lead was performed through the separation and measurement of210Po, using two different extraction procedures. The reproducibility of the results was good for lead containing bismuth in higher concentrations. For high purity lead, variations in the bismuth content have been found by different analyses of the same sample, owing to inhomogeneity in the distribution of the Bi metal traces. An independent analysis of the same lead samples gave comparable Bi concentrations.
