What version?

Hacker¡¯s Rad Decay Ver 4 shows these yields much lower 238 = La 3.79, 239 La 1.57. Other references also support the lower yields.

Using "Prof. C. Hacker's DECAY program", same one as always since day 1. If you see it elsewhere, please reference the source.

Geo,

Double
check those yields. They look to be about 3x too high. Which program were you
using?

There are other paths to U daughters but their decay chain longevity is pretty
long so not included

on this list but will be considered after discussion.
