A study is made of the relative importance of the various energy loss mechanisms for the long-decay event of September 7, 1973, using spectral scans in the 400 A-1335 A range. This spectral range contains many of the important electron density and temperature diagnostic line ratios for the solar transition zone. Earlier analyses of the flare energy budget are refined, using more detailed emission measure curves and density diagnostics. The constant pressure assumptions used in both coronal loop models and in the interpretation of observations in terms of flare energetics are examined. It is found that much of the upper transition region emission originates in cooling loops. Radiative losses are found to dominate.
