242NP cN NR        the absolute |g intensities were obtained by normalizing
242NP2cN the relative I|g's to I(735.9|g)=4.9 {I15} per 100 |b{+-} decays of
242NP3cN 2.2-min {+242}Np. The {+242}U source was in equilibrium with {+242}Np,
242NP c  The level scheme is given as constructed by 1979Ha26 from E|g and I|g
242NP2c  considerations only. Coincidence data were not taken because of
242NP3c  insufficient source intensity. Since conversion electron data were
242NP4c  not taken, low-energy highly converted transitions, if any,
242NP5c  would not have been seen. The level scheme is tentative.
242NP cB           I|b's are deduced from intensity balance at each level.
242NP2cB Because of the possibility of missing highly converted transitions and
242NP3cB because of the tentative nature of the decay scheme, the |b
242NP4cB transitions and their intensities are also tentative.

242NP cB           Existence of this branch is deduced by 1979Ha26 from
242NP2cB the fact that the sum of the absolute |g intensities amounts to
242NP3cB about 30% of the total energy.
