decay intervals and at zero time. The value for each activation productat zero timeis the result of a measurement. The measurements were performed on debris samples taken by aircraft approximately 1 to 4 4 after detonation. When no measurement exists, the value appears as zero. Fission products were calculated from the fissioning nuclides and neutron energy spectra.’ Calculated values for each radionuclide at various decay intervals are given in the remaining pages—from 1 to 21 h on pp. 3-7, from 1 to 300 d on pp. 8-11, and from 1 to 50 y on p. 12. Note that the totals at zero time include only the nuclides listed on pp. 3-12, not all nuclides present at zero time. References 1. 2. 3. 4. H. G.
