11Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel Evaluation difficulties: 2 nd Group-  -ray emission intensity. Ra-226 radioactive chain: ~ 275  -rays. 1. Good examples: many and recent articles found about direct measurements. A) Pb-214  - decay to Bi-214, Bi-214  - decay to Po-214 and Ra-226  decay to Rn-222 We have: * 5 measurements of absolute  -ray emission intensities: E. W. A. Lingeman (1969), D. G. Olson (1983), U. Schötzig (1983), W. -J. Li (1991) and J. Morel (2004) * 14 measurements of relative  -ray emission intensities, where: 8 measurements not used because: a) a lack of information in articles – K. Ya. Gromov (1969), G. Wallace (1969) and M. A. Farouk (1982) b) values comes from the same laboratory: A. Hachem (1975), G. Mouze (1981), H. Akcay (1982), G. Mouze (1990) and G. Diallo (1993). Finally, 6 measurements used: G. T. Ewan (1964), V. Zobel (1977), G. Mouze (1990), D. Sardari (2000), J. U. Delgado (2002) and G. L. Molnar (2002).

12Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel B) Pb-210  - decay to Bi-210 We have 9 measurements of relative  -ray emission intensities (the most recent one in 1990), where 4 measurements were not used because of a lack of information in articles (D. K. Butt (1951), C. S. Wu (1953), P. E. Damon (1954) and I. Y. Krause (1958)). C) Po-210  decay to Pb-206 We have 8 (no recent) measurements: M. A. Grace (1951), M. Riou (1952), W. C. Barber (1952), O. Rojo (1955), R. W. Hayward (1955), A. Ascoli (1956), N. S. Shimanskaia (1957) and V. V. Ovechkin (1957).

13Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel Evaluation difficulties: 2 nd Group -  -ray emission intensity. 2. Difficult examples: no articles found in the literature for direct gamma–ray measurements. A) Measurements of  -ray emission intensity found in the literature come from indirect measurements: * Rn-218  decay:  -ray emission intensity was deduced from the U-230 decay chain. * Po-214  decay:  -ray emission intensity was obtained from the Ra-222 decay. OR B) Adopted  -ray emission intensity comes from  and  - intensity measurements: * Rn-222, Po-218 and Bi-210  decays

14Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel Evaluation difficulties: 3 rd Group- Decay scheme balance. 1) Pb-214  - decay. Internal conversion coefficients (ICC’s) for  - ray transitions of Bi-214 have been deduced from Rösel’s tables. These coefficients lead to a better decay scheme.

Error = 0.51 % Q eff = 1029 (15) keV Rel. Error = 0.99 %

15Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel Evaluation difficulties: 3 rd Group - Decay scheme balance. 2) Tl-210  - decay. All decay scheme is based on the only measurement found in the literature given by P. Weinzierl (1964) and several inconsistencies appeared, as shown previously. Because of these inconsistencies, there is a lack of 3 % in decay scheme balance (P  = 97 %) and we wait for new measurements to solve these problems.

16Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel Conclusions Taking into account the experimental values of  -ray emission intensities, we have done a new evaluation of the Ra-226 decay chain down to Pb-206. A total of twelve radionuclides have been reviewed ( ~ 275  -rays). For other nuclear data like half-life, X-rays,  - and  emission intensities, the situation is as follows: A - Half-lives. Critical cases: Pb-214 (1 measurement by M. Curie in 1931) Bi-214 (1 measurement by H. Daniel in 1956). For four nuclides (Ra-226, Tl-210, Bi-210 and Po-210): no recent measurements since the 1960’s. B – X-rays. Only few measurements for Ra-226, Pb-214, Bi-214, Tl-210 and Pb-210. For the other radionuclides: no direct measurements available. C -  - and  emission intensities. Except for Ra-226 (last measurement in 2001), no recent measurement were found in the literature since 1960’s. To solve all problems in decay scheme of nuclides that belong to Ra-226 decay chain,we need new measurements of these nuclear data.
