Lines beginning with either a 'W' or a '#' are comments Lines beginning with a 'P' are a header which describes a level of the nucleus. The first number is the excitation energy in keV, the second is the half life in seconds Indented lines under the 'P' lines are decay modes for that excitation. There are two type of records here, distinguished by the number of columns. If there are 3 columns only, this is a header which describes all decays of that type from this level. The first column is the decay mode, the second column is zero, and the third column in the branching ratio to this mode, as a fraction of unity. Therefore, the third columns of all the 3-column records under a given 'P' line should sum to 1.0. If there are four columns, this is a record which describes a subset of the decay type, specific to a given lower level in the daughter species. The first column is the decay type, the second column is the excitation level of the daughter (in keV), and the third column is the branching ratio as a percentage (! note... not a fraction of unity) of the total branching ratio which came from the 3-column record for this decay.
