For irradiations with the NAA, the sample material is usually placed in a first polyethylene container. This in turn is fixed in the transport capsule. Starting in the laboratory, the sample will be placed at the irradiation position by sending it through a pneumatic tube system of about 80m length. The way of the return after the exposure is the same.
Advantages compared to the PNA system:
- Shorter preparation time and improved handling thanks PE capsule with screw cap
- Lower temperatures during irradiation (~ 70 °)
- Short access times after irradiation (minutes)
- Sample ends directly in the laboratory, therefore no additional transport for further processing necessary
- Less radioactive waste thanks to the use of polyethylene containers
