Abstract

The evaluator presents in this publication spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reactions for all nuclei with mass number A = 232.Highlights from this evaluation include the discovery of a new isotope of francium, 232Fr, and the study of its β− decay to levels in 232Ra (2004Pe17,1990Me13). Also, it includes the first observation of spontaneous fission in 232Th and 232U, as well as the measurement of their respective partial half-lives of 1.2 (4) × 1021y (1995Bo18) and 2.6 (5) × 1015y (2000Bo46) for this type of decay.
