ABS>Estimates have been made of what the probable radionuclides produced in weapons detoriations, including fission products and neutron-induced radionuclides in air, soils, and sea water will be. The nuclear and decay properties and some metabolic or biological properties of these nuclides are tabulated where available. Estimates are made of the amounts of the radionuclides produced in weapons detonations. Some radionuclides are discussed with respect to their particular biological interest from the standpoint of the hazard to man. (auth)
