Abstract

Following the recent evaluation of the nuclear decay data of ²³⁰U, a similar evaluation for its daughter, ²²⁶Th, a radionuclide of interest for targeted alpha therapy, was undertaken 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 will be included in the DDEP database NUCLEIDE.
