*The stated uncertainties are the sum, in quadrature, of the statistical uncertainty (the "external standard deviation" in the weighted mean) and other uncertainties which include those from the Stevenson equation (NBS Special Publication 626) and from the correction for the ²¹⁰Bi ingrowth in the radium reference sources.

^¤The reference for every radionuclide is § unless otherwise noted.
