table of isotopes U-233, U-234, U-235[edit]
This table puzzles me. Unless I'm greatly mistaken about how to read it, it's wrong. It seems to say that U-233 is a decay product, by alpha, of Pu-238. I suspect that that entry belongs under U-234. Similarly, it is U-234 that decays to Th-230, not U-235. Then again, U-235 IS a decay product of Pu-239. The alpha decay product of U-235 is Th-231, not Th-230. Source: an alpha particle has mass 4.

- That's not what it's saying, though I can see how the layout might be confusing. Everything is written from the perspective of 234U. So the next lighter U isotope from it is 233U and the next heavier is 235U; its parent is 238Pu and its daughter is 230Th. Double sharp (talk) 04:40, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
