Abstract
This study deals with the elemental analysis of rock sample which are collected from North
Wollo (Woldia). Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a sensitive analytical technique useful
for performing both qualitative and quantitative multi-elemental analysis of major, minor and
trace elements in samples from almost every conceivable field of scientific on technical interest.
Am-Be Neutron source was used. The mass of sodium found in 2.103 gm. of irradiated sample is
0.034861216 gm.; which means 1.65 % of the irradiated sample is sodium
