    Data Isotopes
AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a comprehensive tabular dataset of isotopes in formats like XLS, CSV, or ODS, including details such as half-life, mean life, decay constant, and specific activity. They have found several resources, including the National Nuclear Data Center and IAEA Live Chart, but are looking for a format that can be easily imported into a program. The Wikipedia table of nuclides is mentioned as a potential source, although the user desires additional data like weight and energy. They express the need for a more detailed dataset and seek further suggestions. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding a suitable format for isotope data.

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,

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
