Notes

The yield tables built into VICE do not include any treatment of radioactive isotopes. Equations are evaluated and tables are returned counting only the total mass yield of stable isotopes. In the case of elements with a significant nucleosynthetic contribution from radioactive decay products, the values returned from the functions in this module should be interpreted as lower bounds rather than estimates of the true yield.
