Here is the inventory for isotopes more than one percent of total. I made a number of assumptions which I can let you know later:
Isotope      Curies/MTHM      %Total
SR 90          81300                      7.84
Y 90            81300                     7.84
RU106        71500                    6.89
RH106        71500                    6.9
CS134         96770                    9.33
CS137        125000                  12.12
