The November 1, 1952 thermonuclear explosion (" Mike") produced all of the uranium isotopes U 239, U 240,... U 255 through multiple neutron capture by U 238. The long-lived products of successive β− decays from these isotopes were measured mass spectrometrically and radiometrically. The logarithms of the abundances decline smoothly with increasing mass number; the even-mass abundances slightly exceed the geometric mean of adjacent odd-mass abundances. Some nuclear properties of neutron-rich heavy nuclides, not subject to ordinary investigation are inferred.
