International Reactor Dosimetry File 2002 - IAEA Publications

Protactinium-231 is stated to have 100% abundance [9.9], which is
incorrect: this nuclide has a finite half-life (t 1/2 = 32 760 years), and the generally
accepted value for the isotopic abundance of this isotope is 0%.
9.3. RECOMMENDATIONS
Recently evaluated decay data are proposed for many radionuclides that are
of importance in reactor dosimetry applications. These decay data originate from
the ENSDF library and have been extracted, transferred, checked and converted
to the ENDF format. These data, together with the isotopic abundances given in
Ref. [9.9], are recommended for reactor dosimetry applications.
