The half-life of 134Cs has been determined through 882 and 471 activity measurements of two sources over 12 years with a re-entrant ionisation chamber in a temperature-stabilised room. The data were aggregated from in total 204 565 and 99 486 ionisation current measurements with 0.057 % standard deviation. The decay curves adhere to the exponential-decay law, devoid of any cyclic perturbations at daily, monthly, and multi-annual scales, maintaining an exceptionally low standard deviation of 0.0003 % on the amplitude. A discernible annual cycle with an amplitude of 0.0051 (3) % was effectively mitigated to an insignificant level of 0.0009 (3) % by compensating the residuals proportionally to daily variations in ambient humidity. The study yielded a half-life value for 134Cs of 754.200 (53) d or 2.06493 (14) a, with a relative standard uncertainty of 0.0070 %. The result obtained in this work can be recommended as a reference value, owing to its high statistical accuracy and conservative estimate of systematic errors.

Experimental nuclear structure and decay data are evaluated for 13 known nuclides of mass number A=63 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se). Detailed evaluated level properties and related information are presented and recommended spectroscopic parameters are provided, combining all the data from various reactions and decays. No excited state has been observed for 63Ti, 63As and 63Se, among which the first two nuclides have no halflife, decay modes and spin-parity being measured and reported yet. The ground-state spins and/or parities of 63V, 63Cr, 63Mn, and 63Ge still have not been definitely determined and information for excited states in these nuclides plus 63Fe is limited. Information for 63Ga is mostly from one measurement and no data for 63Ge ε+β+ decay have been measured while this decay mode (%100) of the 63Ge parent is known. The 63Cu nuclide is the most extensively studied via more than 28 different reactions and decays, followed by 63Zn and 63Ni. Among all those nuclides, only 63Cu has a complete radioactive decay scheme. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=63 published by 2001Ba27, 1991Ki10, 1979Au10, and 1975Au03.

Evaluated nuclear structure and decay data for all nuclei with mass number A=202 (202Os, 202Ir, 202Pt, 202Au, 202Hg, 202Tl, 202Pb, 202Bi, 202Po, 202At, 202Rn, 202Fr and 202Ra), are presented. All available experimental data are compiled and evaluated, and best values for level and γ-ray energies, quantum numbers, lifetimes, γ-ray intensities and transition probabilities, as well as other nuclear properties, are recommended. Inconsistencies and discrepancies that exist in the literature are discussed. A number of computer codes (https://www-nds.iaea.org/public/ensdf_pgm/) developed by members of the NSDD network were used during the evaluation process. This work supersedes the earlier evaluation by F.G. Kondev (2007Ko42), published in Nuclear Data Sheets108, 1471 (2007).

The experimental nuclear spectroscopic data for known nuclides of mass number 76 (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y) have been evaluated and presented together with Adopted properties for levels and γ rays. With the exception of structure data for 76Ga nucleus, significant new data have been incorporated for all the other nuclides of A=76 since the previous 1995 update in ENSDF database and NDS publication 1995Si03. No data are yet available for excited states in 76Fe, 76Cu and 76Y. Decay scheme characteristics for the decay of 76Co, 76Ni, and 76Y are unknown while those for decays of 76Cu and 76Sr seem incomplete. For 76Ni, very little structure data are available, and for 76Ga and 76As, only low-spin ( or so) information is available. This work supersedes the data presented in the previous (1995Si03) NDS evaluation of A=76.
