The difference between the

The radiochemical separations for the fission products and
for Fe? and Fe? were made according to the methods outlined by

Kleinberg (1954) of the Los Alamos Selentific Laboratory.

The

methods for Mn, zn, and vanadium were taken from the procedures developed at the University of California Radiation

Laboratory (Meinke, 1949).

The determinations for cobalt were

made according to two different methods:

one was taken from

Kleinberg and the other from Hillebrand and Lundell (1953).
