Constituent Selection (CON)

The Constituent Selection output can be found in the GID file. Each database must format its specification output to match the format of the GID file. One and only one CON database specification can exist per site within the GID file. There are two parts within the specification, one contains the database owners specific parameters and the other contains the specification parameters below.

For each site:
     NumCon (INTEGER) - Number of Constituents
    For each CON:
               FSCASID (STRING) - The Chemical Abstracts Service Identification number
               FSCNAME (STRING) - Constituent Name
               FSFRACTION (FLOAT) - "fraction" - First dregration product fraction
               FUIDataBase (STRING) - Microsoft Access database being used
               NDS (INTEGER) - Number of straight chain decay products
               SSCASID (STRING) - Second degration product CASID
               SSCNAME (STRING) - Second degration product name
               SSFRACTION (FLOAT) - "fraction" - Second dregration product fraction
               CLKTYPE (INTEGER) - MEPAS constituent Type (0=Chemical, 1=Radionuclide)
