SOME CUMULATIVE YIELDS OF ISOTOPES FORMED IN THE THERMAL NEUTRON FISSION OF Pu239

Abstract
The relative yields of the isotopes of cesium, cerium, neodymium, and samarium produced by the thermal neutron fission of Pu239 have been determined with a mass spectrometer. Preliminary values of the absolute yields of 16 isotopes of these elements together with four yields of the xenon isotopes have been assigned by means of isotope dilution techniques.
