Main isotopes of elements

[edit]

Being discussed at WT:ELEMENTS, January 2023

  1. Primordial (286): 251 stable + 35 long-lived
  2. Cosmogenic & some decay products
  3. Medically useful, radiotracer, industrial applications
  4. Nuclear fuel & fission products
  5. Verified extinct or otherwise geologically interesting
  6. (synthetic) 2–3 longest lived (if not covered by other criteria)
  7. (synthetic) Most commonly produced
  8. IAR: other interesting long-lived or historically studied nuclide

Will do slight reorganization and adjustments to criteria.

An isotope might meet several criteria, though each is only listed under one below. Potentially useful lists:

Did not include unconfirmed isotopes of SHEs.

All isomers labeled m are m1 unless otherwise indicated, as reflected in scientific publications.

Isomers to be identified by massnumber id ⟨m1, m2, m3, m4⟩. Must correspond with NUBASE2020 ⟨m, n, p, q⟩ identifiers 1:1.
ComplexRational please confirm that m-isotopes are m1-isotopes, by editing into such. (IOW, "m" is not acceptable as identification). -DePiep (talk) 08:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
