Abstract
Δ-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 an online IAEA publication http://www-nds.iaea.org/RIPL-2/fission/fis-barrier-exp.readme; the barrier values cited here are the larger of the “inner” and “outer” barriers listed in that document.
