Abstract

The evaluation of the nuclear decay data of ²³⁰U, a radionuclide of interest in nuclear medicine (targeted alpha therapy), was performed within the Decay Data Evaluation Project (DDEP) and an IAEA Coordinated Research Project. The nuclear decay data presented are: the half-life, decay energy, alpha-particle emission energies and probabilities, internal conversion coefficients and gamma-ray energies and emission intensities. These new data, obtained using the DDEP methodology and software tools, will be included in the DDEP database NUCLEIDE.
