Resumen
A software package for INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis), developed at the Nuclear Metrology Laboratory
of the IPEN-CNEN/SP, called k0-IPEN, is described. The package consists of a main program linked to nine subprograms
designed to perform automatically most of the tasks necessary in order to obtain the mass fractions of the irradiated samples.
External efficiency curves calculated by the Monte Carlo code MCNP6 can be read to extend the calibration curve to source
to detector distances where only a few experimental points are available. Covariance analysis was used in all steps of the
calculation. The validation of the code was tested in an intercomparison sponsored by the IAEA.
