The Nuclear Science Chart is part of the highly popular Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) series. It explores the structure, properties and interactions of atomic nuclei; it describes basic nuclear processes and the modern picture of the nucleus and then applies them to the formation of the Universe. It illustrates the known isotopes with a chart of the nuclides in graphic form, traces radioactive decay from alpha to gamma and shows how new elements are found. Many nuclear science applications are described. Part of the CPEP series, this complements its other charts on Fundamental Particles and Interactions, Fusion and Plasma Physics, the History and Fate of the Universe, and Gravity. CPEP is a world wide, non profit consortium of teacher educators and physicists. CPEP-developed materials seek to disseminate current understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy, incorporating the major research findings of recent years.
