Isotope Information

[Nim]

Does anyone know of any book, program, or website that has a ton of detailed information about isotopes? Such how many and what particles they emit (alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray). What the max and average energy those particles have. What range in water and tissue those particles have. What their physical, biological, and effective half-life is.

and then the big databases, ensdat etc.

Are u trying to find the different properties of isotopes of alike elements??

[Nim]

Yes. I am mostly curious about their radioactive properties.

The "Table of Nuclides" page that arivero posted has a ton of information.
Instead of clicking on different parts of the big colorful blotch you can also pick one part to zoom in on and then click "Nuclide Table" on top to access the same information by clicking on the name of the element from a list instead.

effective half-life is the average time taken for the radioisotope in question say 131I that was administered to the patient to decay through either normal decay of biological decay where the body uses it's many different ways to excret the radioisotope from the body.

hope this helps

Here's an updated "Chart of Nuclides" from the Japanese Atomic Energy Research Institute - http://wwwndc.tokai.jaeri.go.jp/CN04/index.html

For X-rays - try http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quantum/moseley.html

You might find this of interest - http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wittke/Microprobe/Course%20Overview.html

Somewhere I have a table of X-ray energies most of the elements.
