Abstract

Thermal-neutron fission of U/sup 235/ and Pu/sup 239/ was studied sssuming that 10/sup 4/ atoms undergo fission simultaneously. From fission yields and decay chains, the decay rate of the different isotopes created in the fission were calculated as a function of time after fission. Isotopes with unknown decay schemes which might give appreciable contributions to the total gamma spectra, computed for 11 different times. were listed in the respective diagrams. (M.C.G.)
