Does anyone know of a good reference having the compositions by weight 
percent of trace elements (such as cobalt) in metals such as the Inconels, 
stainless steels, zircalloys. etc.  
 
This would be for use in performing activation calculations. I have found 
several references showing the main constituents but finding the cobalt 
content is another story. 
 
Thanks in advance.

One useful reference is NUREG/CR-3474, "Long Lived Activation Products in 
Reactor Materials".

It's not about dose, it's about trust.
