The yield of 478 and 558 keV gamma-rays have been measured from water samples containing 0.031–0.500 wt. % boron and 0.0625–0.500 wt. % cadmium, respectively, using a cylindrical 76 mm×76 mm (height×diameter) LaCl3:Ce detector. Inspite of interferences between detector-associated and the sample-associated prompt gamma rays, the LaCl3:Ce detector has excellent resolution for the low energy prompt gamma-rays. An excellent agreement has been observed between the experimental and calculated yield of boron and cadmium prompt gamma ray from water samples.
