e. The relative amounts of the Plutonium isotopes

238, 239, 240 and 241 will differ slenificantly from that
produced by a fission type weapon.

f,.

Tritiumwill be present in detectable amounts and

wili indicate that it was either an original constituent
of tne bomb or was generated in the explosion.

ge. Carbon 14 and Argon 37 will be formed in detectable

quantities in both Mike and King shots.
The interpretation of any differences between the two bombs, based on
these measurements, is questicnable at this time.

In this case all results will indicate a composite
fission type weapon with certain exceptions of which
the following two are expected to be most significant:
a. Detectable amounts

of tritium.

bv. Abnormal amounts of natural uranium.

he Uranium 239 fissioning to any ‘appreciable extent is low,
and in any event doubted that this reaction would proceed to an
extent sufficient to materially alter the criteria clted in
