Monographie BIPM-5 Table of Radionuclides (Vol. 2 -A = 151 to 242)

International audienceThe purpose of this monograph, number 5 of the series, is to present the recommended values of nuclear and decay data for a set of sixty-eight radionuclides. Activity measurements for thirty-two of these radionuclides have already been the subject of comparisons under the auspices of the Section II of the CCRI. The material for this monograph will be covered in two volumes. Volume I contains the primary recommended data relating to half-lives, decay modes, x-rays, gamma-rays, electron emissions, alpha- and beta-particle transitions and emissions, and their uncertainties for radionuclides with mass number up to and including 150. Volume 2 contains the equivalent data for radionuclides with mass number over 150. The data have been collated and evaluated by an international working group (Decay Data Evaluation Project) led by the BNM-LNHB. The evaluators have agreed on the methodologies to be used and the CD-ROM included with this monograph contains the evaluators' comments for each radionuclide in addition to the data tables included in the monograph. The work involved in evaluating nuclear data is on-going and the recommended values are updated on the LNHB website at http://www.nucleide.org/DDEP_WG/DDEPdata.ht
