The exact solution of the s-process equations obtained by Newman (1978) is discussed. The solution can be written in the form of the Batemen series expansion, confirms the initial s-process theory, and permits calculation of the yields of elements to be carried out more correctly in the region of low neutron exposures. The influence of branching of the s-process due to competition between beta decay and neutron capture is analyzed, and it is noted that at a temperature of 3 x 10 to the 8th K and a density of free neutrons of 1.6 x 10 to the 7th/cu cm, the s-process theory is in good agreement with observational data for the yields of the various nuclides. Models for the pulsed neutron s-process are discussed.
