Abstract: The function of the simple pneumatic device for the short-lasting irradiations of the samples placed in a reactor has been briefly described. The pneumatic rabbit with the samples to be studied moves with the velocity of 7 m/sec in the transport tube and a time of 5 sec for the transport of the moving rabbit from the irradiating place into the laboratory is neccesary. A few examples of the practical use of the device described for the activation analysis e. g. the determination of hafnium in zircone-samples; silver in ammonium sulphate; cobalt in biological material and aluminium, respectively, are given.
