SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for a comprehensive tabular dataset of isotopes, specifically in formats like *.xls, *.csv, or *.ods. Key attributes sought include half-life, mean life, decay constant, and specific activity. Participants recommend several resources, including the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) chart, the IAEA Live Chart, and the Wikipedia Table of Nuclides. The user expresses a desire for additional data such as weight and energy values to enhance their analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of isotopic properties, including half-life and decay constants.
  • Familiarity with data formats such as CSV and XLS for data manipulation.
  • Basic knowledge of nuclear physics concepts related to isotopes.
  • Experience with data analysis tools or programming for data integration.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) for detailed isotope charts.
  • Investigate the IAEA Live Chart for real-time isotope data.
  • Review the Wikipedia Table of Nuclides for a structured overview of isotopes.
  • Consult the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for comprehensive physical data on isotopes.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, nuclear physicists, data analysts, and anyone involved in the study or application of isotopes and their properties.

I am looking for tabular view of all isotopes (*.xls, *.csv, *.ods , ... ).
Preferably with as much information as possible - half life, mean life, decay constant, specific activity, ...

Any thoughts on where this might exist.

I am wondering about correlations between stability and different calculated features of isotopes.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the leads. The first two seem like the standard "chart" version.
I think i need to play with them a bit more to see if I can get a table view as I want to load this information into a program.
The Wikipedia one is the right format, I might cut and past them together.
But truthfully, I would also like the weight, and energies , ... just more information
The last link does not work.

Any other thoughts ?

Cheers,
