Using a semirelativistic theory previously developed by the author, we have computed the total probability per K-capture event for the ionization of the remaining K electron for a dozen nuclides of interest. Based on hydrogenic wave functions and accurate to relative order (Z..cap alpha..)/sup 2/, the theory takes into account the correlation between the two initial K electrons and permits adjustments for screening. Numerical results exhibiting the effects of screening are presented. A comprehensive comparison of the predictions of this theory, as well as those of other theoretical models, with recent experimental data is also given.
