 23NA2cG Evaluators present I|g relative to I|g(440)=100. The uncertainties of
 23NA3cG I|g (1974Al03) are statistical only. A larger systematic
 23NA4cG uncertainty can be expected for the cylindrical gas cell
 23NA5cG (diameter 7.5 cm and height 2 cm) counting geometry. However,
 23NA7cG the recommend uncertainty of the absolute |g-ray emission
 23NA8cG probability is expected to be valid due to the unique feature
 23NA9cG of the decay scheme as I|g(1+|a)(440) represents 99.6% of |SI|g(1+|a)
 23NAacG to the g.s. from excited states and the |b branching to
 23NAbcG the g.s. and 1st excited state dominate the total I|b, (67+32)=99%,
 23NAccG that yields the same uncertainties as %I|b=67 {I3}, 32 {I3} (1957Pe12),
 23NAdcG 67 {I1}, 32 {I1} (1963Ca06), for the g.s. and 1st excited states,
 23NAecG respectively. As a result, the uncertainty of the I|g(440) can be
 23NAfcG considered equivalent to |DI|b(1st excited state at 440).
