Decay energy
(Actually, a 687 keV electron - beta particle - and a 514 keV photon - gamma ray.)

This looks wrong - I think 687 keV is the total for the beta and the gamma; also a gamma occurs in less than 1% of decays. --JWB 16:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Atmospheric testing dates
The article cites the date of atmospheric testing as "between 1945 and the end of atmospheric testing in 1962" but this is not accurate. The United States and Soviet Union ended atmospheric testing in 1962 by treaty, but other nations such as France and China continued to conduct atmospheric testing for several years thereafter. I do not know the year of the last atmospheric test but I believe it was in the 1970's DrBuzz0 (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
