Chapter 6
Appendices
6.1 Appendix A: Selected -Values and Fission Barriers
-values for nuclides involved in every reaction in this book are listed below. These
are adopted from Jagdish K. Tuli, Nuclear Wallet Cards (Brookhaven National
Laboratory, October 2011.) The full publication is available at www.nndc.bnl.gov.
Fission barriers quoted for selected heavy nuclides are taken from P. Möller et al.,
“Fission barriers at the end of the chart of the nuclides,” Phys. Rev. C 91, 024310
(2015). These correspond to the listed nuclide as being the compound nucleus formed
after neutron capture. For example, for fission of
235 U, the compound nucleus is
236 U,
and the barrier is 5.03 MeV.
