The independent yield of Cs14m in thermal neutron fission of U235 is less than 1.7 × 10−6 of the mass 134 chain yield and that of Cs136 was found to be (0.94 ± 0.04) × 10−3 of the mass 136 chain yield. The half-life for Cs134m was measured as 2.91 ± 0.01 hours.

The fission yield of I131 has been investigated using improved extraction techniques and disintegration rate measurements. The value obtained for the fission yield is (3.1 ± 0.1)%. This is relative to a Ba140 reference fission yield of 6.1%. The half-life for I131 has been determined and found to be 8.05 ± 0.01 days.

The Absolute

The absolute fission yield of Ba140 in the thermal neutron fission of U235 has been determined to be (6.32 ± 0.24)%. The reaction B10(n, α)Li7 was used as a neutron monitor and the B10/B11 ratio determined mass spectrometrically before and after neutron bombardment. The Ba140 disintegration rate was determined using 4π counting techniques. The half-life of La140 has been found to be 40.31 ± 0.06 hr.

The relative yields of the isotopes of cesium, rubidium, and strontium from thermal neutron fission of U235 have been determined mass spectrometrically. The cesium isotope yields are combined with those obtained previously for the xenon isotopes to give high precision yields for mass chains from 131 to 137. In this work neutron capture reactions have been considered and corrections made where these take place to an appreciable extent. The results give further evidence of abnormal yields in the 82 neutron shell region. The half-life of Cs137 was determined and found to be 33 ± 2 years.
