Abstract In determining the trace platinum group elements and gold in rocks and ores by the neutron activation analysis after a nickel sulphide fire assay preconcentration, there are interferences due to nuclides produced from second order nuclear reactions. This paper presents the degree of interference calculated over the ranges of long irradiation times and of reactor neutron flux from 1·1013 to 1·1015 n·cm−2·s−1. According to the results of these calculations, every one of the second order interfering reactions on the PGE+Au, except the197Au(n, γ)198Au(n, γ)199Au reaction, can be neglected under the long irradiation time or high reactor neutron flux. Special attention is given to the interference from gold in the determining platinum.
