Correction: Half-life(s) of Cf-252

Correction.  Mis-typed a number.

--------------------------------------------
According to the "Rad Health Handbook -- 1970":

          Cf-252
          ------
          T1/2    =  2.64 y
          SF T1/2 =  85 y

ENSDF http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nndc/nudat/ and Kocher (1981) list the atomic half-life at about 2.6 y with 3.1% SF-- which would be equivalent to an assumed SF half-life of 85.4 y.
