Scientific paper

Least-squares analysis of spontaneous-fission data obtained over the last four years from a californium sample produced in the November, 1952 thermonuclear test gives a Cf254 spontaneous-fission half-life of 56.2+/-0.7 days in agreement with the astrophysical value of 55+/-1 days. Some comments are made on the neutron buildup in Type I supernovae and the influence of a possible double magic number, N=184, Z=82, at A=266 on the yield curve near A=254. An approximate spontaneous-fission half-life of 2×104 years for Cm250 is deduced from a curium sample also produced in the November, 1952 thermonuclear test.
