This award provides three years of partial support for a research staff technician to help operate and maintain the Neutron Activation Analysis Laboratory in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Institute is committed to providing the rest of the funding needed for the full-time services of the technician. The Neutron Activation Analysis Laboratory is a facility dedicated to the analysis of planetary materials, principally terrestrial rocks and minerals. Principal users are graduate and undergraduate students at MIT and other research institutions in the northeast U.S. Neutron activation analysis is based on the nuclear properties of elements and is a sensitive technique for elements that are not readily analyzed by other techniques that depend on the electronic energy levels of elements.

该合同为麻省理工学院地球、大气和行星科学系的中子活化分析实验室的研究人员提供了三年的部分支持，以帮助操作和维护该实验室。研训所承诺提供技术人员全时服务所需的其余经费。中子活化分析实验室是一个专门用于分析行星材料，主要是陆地岩石和矿物的设施。主要用户是麻省理工学院和美国东北部其他研究机构的研究生和本科生。中子活化分析是基于元素的核性质，是一种敏感的技术，对于那些依赖于元素电子能级的其他技术不容易分析的元素。
