New estimated values of the decay and radiation characteristics of the radionuclides 233Th, 239U, 236Np, 236 mNp, 238Np, and 239Np obtained in light of information published in 2009 are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Methods and procedures for monitoring the consistency of sets of recommended data for radioactive nuclide decay characteristics are considered. A procedure is proposed, which combines three methods of checking the consistency of quantities related to the decay scheme of a radionuclide: the decay energy, the energies and probabilities of nuclear transitions, the internal conversion coefficients and the energies and emission probabilities of the radiations accompanying the decay.
