The paper reports on experiments carried out at JET to test the possibility of using some activating materials (e.g. 89Y, 167Er, 204Pb, 180Hf, 111Cd, etc.) to perform multi-foil neutron activation measurements. It is shown that apart from indium other materials can be successfully used in these meas...
