  We revisit the evidence for the contribution of the long-lived radioactive
nuclides 44Ti, 55Fe, 56Co, 57Co, and 60Co to the UVOIR light curve of SN 1987A.
We show that the V-band luminosity constitutes a roughly constant fraction of
the bolometric luminosity between 900 and 1900 days, and we obtain an
approximate bolometric light curve out to 4334 days by scaling the late time
V-band data by a constant factor where no bolometric light curve data is
available. Considering the five most relevant decay chains starting at 44Ti,
55Co, 56Ni, 57Ni, and 60Co, we perform a least squares fit to the constructed
composite bolometric light curve. For the nickel isotopes, we obtain best fit
values of M(56Ni) = (7.1 +- 0.3) x 10^{-2} Msun and M(57Ni) = (4.1 +- 1.8) x
10^{-3} Msun. Our best fit 44Ti mass is M(44Ti) = (0.55 +- 0.17) x 10^{-4}
Msun, which is in disagreement with the much higher (3.1 +- 0.8) x 10^{-4} Msun
recently derived from INTEGRAL observations. The associated uncertainties far
exceed the best fit values for 55Co and 60Co and, as a result, we only give
upper limits on the production masses of M(55Co) < 7.2 x 10^{-3} Msun and
M(60Co) < 1.7 x 10^{-4} Msun. Furthermore, we find that the leptonic channels
in the decay of 57Co (internal conversion and Auger electrons) are a
significant contribution and constitute up to 15.5% of the total luminosity.
Consideration of the kinetic energy of these electrons is essential in lowering
our best fit nickel isotope production ratio to [57Ni/56Ni]=2.5+-1.1, which is
still somewhat high but is in agreement with gamma-ray observations and model
predictions.
