Abstract;The k0 standardization method has been studied and applied to many kinds of standard reference materials at JAERI for the accurate determination of multielements by neutron-induced prompt gamma-ray analysis. Up to now, the k0-factors for 27 elements using Cl as a comparator have been measured by the cold and thermal neutron guided beams of JRR-3M. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the k0 factors by the following manners. 1) The obtained k 0-factors were compared with those obtained with thermal neutron guided beam at the Institute of Isotope and Surface Chemistry (IKI) in Hungary. 2) The k0-factors were compared with those calculated by using the evaluated thermal neutron capture gamma-ray data (Z<21) from the LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA)-IKI and the Lone's table.
