The objective of this study is to determine if neutron activation analysis technique, developed under Research Project 70-1ST, can be used to determine the shell content of a sand-shell mixture.In order to accomplish this objective, samples of sand and shell were obtained from different sources. The material sampled was artificially blended in the
