For later reference and improved reliability, data from all considered multiple sources is collected here. References are denoted by these letters:

A 729, pp. 3-128 (2003). — Where this source indicates a speculative value, the # mark is also applied to values with weak assignment arguments from other sources, if grouped together. An asterisk after the A means that a comment of some importance may be available in the original.

Section 11, Table of the Isotopes. — The CRC uses rounded numbers with implied uncertainties, where this concurs with the range of another source it is treated as exactly equal in this comparison.
- (D) More specific level data from reference B's Levels and Gammas database.
- (E) Same as B but excitation energy replaced with that from D.

Inconsistent Half-Lifes
Above the table, the article states that silicon-32 has a half-life of about 170 years, yet in the table, it clearly states its half-life is 132 years. Is the table or the article closer? This should be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elium2 (talk • contribs) 16:00, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- As of today, http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nudat2/reCenter.jsp?z=14&n=18, shows a 1/2 life of 153 years. PRONIZ (talk) 17:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- I fixed the half-life in the opening of the article. I also added the uncertainty from NuDat 2 (19 y @ 1 σ) to the table. —Edgar.bonet (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
