Neutron activation analysis has been continuously pursued in the former Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic since 1962, after an experimental nuclear reactor VVR-S became available. Activities in photon activation analysis started after the installation of a microtron, a source of high energy photons, in 1980. Methodological developments of both methods are described, as well as their applications in various fields of science and technology, namely in environmental research and occupational health studies, cosmo- and geochemical research, biomedical studies, agricultural, nutritional, material research, archaeological and cultural heritage studies, and in quality control and preparation of reference materials.
