title: A critical review of neutron activation and tracer methods for the determination of the noble metals.
abstract: Neutron activation methods for the seven noble metals are critically reviewed up to December, 1965. The methods deal with the determination of trace impurities in each noble metal as well as traces of noble metals in media such as organic material, fission product and other solutions, ores, alloys, minerals, silica and base metals. The need for confirmatory evidence in the case of such complex materials as ores is emphasized.
