All data from [7].

	α:	alpha particle emission (⁴He nucleus)
	β+:	emission of an anti-electron and a neutrino. A proton inside the nucleus is transformed into a neutron
	β-:	emission of an electron and an anti-neutrino. A neutron inside the nucleus is transformed into a proton
	ec:	electron capture: capture of one orbital electron by the the nucleus. A proton inside the nucleus is transformed into a neutron plus a neutrino
	SF:	Spontaneous Fission: a nucleus spontaneously splits into fragment nuclides
	IT:	Isomeric Transition: a level above the ground state decays via electromagnetic process
	n:	neutron emission
	p:	proton emission
	β- n (and similar):	beta- decay followed by delayed neutron emission
