10. It is possible to estimate the time between the ejection of short-lived radioactivities from a stellar source (such as a supernova or a thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch star or a Wolf-Rayet star) and the formation of some of the early solar system objects in which their records are found by considering stellar nucleosynthesis yields and a suitable model for transport into and subsequent mixing of the radioactivities with the protosolar cloud [e.g. (1)]. If a homogeneous distribution of the short-lived nuclides in the solar nebula is assumed, they may be used as relative chronometers for dating solar system events and processes.

We ignore possible shielding of the targets by nebular gas and assume free access of SEPs up to the asteroidal zone. Appropriate reaction cross sections for relevant reactions have been used in these calculations (38, 39).
