*In several publications the initial ground deposition of the fission products 132Te and 132I is reported in terms of 132Te. (T½ = 3.2 d) assuming secular equilibrium with 132I (T½ = 0.096 d).

**Activities of 95Nb, 140La and 144Pr will all accumulate until reaching transient equilibrium with their mother nuclides 95Zr, 140Ba and 144Ce, respectively.
