Abstract

The xenon abundances determined by Rowe and Bogard in Pasamonte II are corrected for trapped as well as for spallation xenon, and the following mass spectrum for the fission component is obtained: 131Xe= 33.5 ± 3; 132Xe= 95 ± 9; 134Xe= 91 ± 2.5; 136Xe≡ 100 . The correction for spallation xenon increases the 132Xe yield considerably. The Pasamonte II fission spectrum differs from the spontaneous 238U and thermal neutron 235U fission spectrum, indicating that long-lived transuranic elements have contributed to the fission xenon.
