The isotopic abundances of neon, magnesium and silicon nuclei accelerated in solar flaresDirect measurements of the relative abundance of the isotopes Ne-20 and Ne-22 are reported along with a preliminary value for the Mg-26/Mg-24 ratio and an upper limit to the abundance of Si-30 in solar flare accelerated nuclei. A Ne-20/Ne-22 ratio of 7.7 plus 2.3 or minus 1.7 is in agreement with the ratio for the component Neon-A found in carbonaceous chondrites, while a preliminary value of 0.22 plus or minus 0.07 for Mg-26/Mg-24 is larger by approximately one standard deviation than the expected ratio of 0.14 given by Cameron (1973).
