Table 2. U-Pu/Xe ages.

Age uncertainties include uncertainties on [Nd], [U], [136Xe], Solar System initial Pu/U and Pu/Nd ratios, 136Xe cumulative yields, branching ratios, and 238U and 244Pu decay constants.

Age ± 2σ (Ma) Age ± 2σ (Ma) Age ± 2σ (Ma)
LLNL-UI-1 9111 ± 813 4274 ± 44 4319 ± 46

*On the basis of a Solar System initial Pu/U = 0.0068 ± 0.0010 [Hudson et al. (21)].

†On the basis of a Solar System initial Pu/Nd = 0.00015 [Lugmair and Marti (22)]. No uncertainty is given in Lugmair and Marti (22). A 15% uncertainty is assumed here.
