National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Fission Product Chains and Fission Yields.

DE85003496

Publication Date	1945
Personal Author	Glendenin, L. E.; Siegel, J. M.; Coryell, C. D.
Page Count	13
Abstract	Presented herewith are charts of the chain relations and probable mass assignments for all fission products that have been identified to date, together with a useful plot of the yield-mass curve for uranium fission in the pile. In the figure accompanying this memo the data for the fission yields in pile irradiated uranium are plotted against mass numbers. The data for the light and heavy groups are superimposed by reversing the abscissa scale for the former and taking the data to be symmetrically distributed with respect to mass 117. This convention corresponds to a mass sum of 234, or the emission of 2 neutrons per fission.
