Should include information about industrial usage, if any. Someone with experience of nuclear physics should verify the contents of the table. jni 07:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I've overwritten the existing table in the course of creating a full set of 'isotopes of' semi-stub articles with masses and abundances. The decay data may be re-included later as part of WikiProject Isotopes. Femto 11:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

^18mF

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

What's that ^18mF entry? I'm reasonably across atomic and nuclear physics, being a professional molecular physicist, and I don't know that I've seen this notation before. That I (who knows a decent amount about this stuff) don't know what it means suggests to me that the average punter will have no idea. Thus an explanatory note and/or link in the table would be appropriate and beneficial. 150.203.35.113 (talk) 04:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Incremental neutron mass values

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The incremental mass value given between OE9F17 to OO9F18 is 0.998842 amu's which is more than the incremental mass value given for the change from OO9F18 to OE9F19 (0.997466) This is an unusual high incremental mass value increase for the transition to the OO9F18 atom and an unusual low incremental mass increase value for the OEF19 transition, which is a mass increase of only 0.997466 amu's for the addition of a neutron to the nucleus.WFPM (talk) 01:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Nuclear transition at 0 degrees Kelvin

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Where does the OO9F18 atom get the energy at 0 degrees Kelvin to break up a PN nucleon pair (2.23Mev) and then capture an orbital elec tron by the unpaired neutron and then to change to EE8O18?WFPM (talk) 01:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

F-18 does not contain an H-2 nucleus (binding energy 2.23MeV), so it dosen't need enough decay energy to break one up. Radioactive decay or any exothermic reaction produces energy by converting to something of lower mass. 18.0009373(5)u - 17.9991596129(8)u = 0.0017777(5)u * 931.494MeV/u = 1.6559(5)MeV. Temperature play no part here as starting with colder F-18 would simply produce colder O-18. This is on the average of many decays as the neutrino produced in EC or e+ emission has variable energy.

Question about fluorine-18

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Does anyone know where the trace amount of fluorine-18 found in nature comes from? (On the page for fluorine it's listed as "trace".) Is the fluorine-18 in use from reactors? It would be nice to mention something about this in the article. modify 21:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

From cosmic ray spallation of Ar, as well as the reaction ¹⁸O(p,n)¹⁸F. This is given at cosmogenic nuclide. Double sharp (talk) 06:51, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
