Possible error in IsotopeData (germanium-76 and selenium-82)?

Posted 5 years ago

I found 2 isotopes in Wolfram database which are marked as unstable, but their lifetime is indicated as infinite (germanium-76 and selenium-82). The following chunck of code illustrates the issue:

g1 = Table[{{z, a} ,
IsotopeData[{z, a},
"BindingEnergy"],
IsotopeData[{z, a}, "Stable"], 
IsotopeData[{z, a}, "Lifetime"],
IsotopeData[{z, a},
"FullSymbol"], 
IsotopeData[{z, a}, "Name"] }, {z, 1, 118}, 
{a,  IsotopeData[#, "MassNumber"] & /@ IsotopeData[z]}] //
Flatten[#, 1] &; g1 // Length

Select[g1, #1[[1]] == {32, 76} &] Select[g1, #1[[1]] == {34, 82} &]

Is it an error of what?

Hey, Igor, how are you? I posted about something like that (https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1766141). Isotope data is not updated. So, you can play but not work with it.

Ge76 and Se82 are stable

You can use the nuclear database: https://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nudat2/reCenter.jsp?z=34&n=48
