The number of reactant nuclei in a series of foils surrounding a container of Hg that has been bombarded by 1.5 GeV protons is calculated and compared to experimental measurements. This is done to aid in the validation of the Hg cross sections used in the design studies of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). It was found that the calculations match the measurements to within the uncertainties inherent in the analysis.
