We calculate the relative abundance of the radioactive isotopes Iodine-131
and Cesium-137 produced by nuclear fission in reactors and compare it with data
taken at the troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The ratio of
radioactivities of these two isotopes can be used to obtain information about
when the nuclear reactions terminated.
