Features: The third edition of the "Nuclear Data Handbook" was compiled and revised by T.B. Grashchivili, B.P. Tchechov, O.O. Patarkhanov, H.E. Yakolev, B.M. Kupriyanov, Zhao Zhixiang, Huang Xiaolong, Ge Zhigang, and Zhou Chunmei based on the second edition (in Russian) of the "Nuclear Data Handbook." Direct or indirect participants in this work include: the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, the Pre-test Department of Nuclear Weapons Development under the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, the ATOMINFORM Scientific Data Center of the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, the Radioactive Isotope Data Center of the Khlopin Institute of Radiochemistry in St. Petersburg, and the CODATA Chinese Committee, as well as the China National Nuclear Corporation, the China Academy of Atomic Energy, and the China Nuclear Data Center. This book collects all fundamental nuclear data of stable and radioactive nuclides known up to 2004, including their basic properties. Most of these data are newly recommended evaluated data, accompanied by their uncertainties. It is intended for use and reference by scientists and engineers in nuclear science and engineering, radioactive isotope production, nuclear medicine, geological exploration, environmental protection, and scientific research, as well as by students and faculty in nuclear physics and radiochemistry at research institutions and universities. It is designed for readers of all levels, such as scientists, engineers, university and college students, and high school students, making it a fundamental reference toolbook for nuclear science.
