What Are the Key Concepts in Understanding Nuclear Properties?

Introduction to Nuclear Properties

Is the whole site on Nuclear Properties? The link itself does not direct you to the Introduction, or atleast I can't find it!

Unfortunately it looks like those notes have disappeared.

Link to Department of Physics - Jyväskylän yliopisto (University of Jyväskylä), Finland

I'll have to delete this thread then.

Is it possible to create a permanent copy of these for future use?

Thanks for the link!

Those notes were in html format, as usually many class/course notes are. The notes seem no longer available, so for that reason I'll be deleting thread, but hopefully we'll replace it with another.
