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 v on p. 12. Note that
the totals at zero time include only the nuclides

decay intervals and at zero time. The value for

eachactivation product at zero timeis the result of
a measurement. The measurements were per-

formed on debris samples taken bvaircraft approximately 1 to 4 h after detonation. When no
measurement exists, the value appears as zero.
Fission products were calculated from the fissioning nuclides and neutron energy spectra.

listed on pp 3-12, not all nuclides present at zero
time.
