neptunium series

neptunium series
n.
the radioactive series of nuclides starting with neptunium-237, with a half-life of 2.2 x 106 years, and ending with stable bismuth-209: many radionuclides, as plutonium-241 and uranium-237, eventually decay into neptunium-237 and are often considered members of the neptunium series

* * *

      set of artificially produced and unstable heavy nuclei that are genetically related through alpha and beta decay. It is one of four radioactive series (q.v.).
