Zirconium - 40Zr: isotope data

Zirconium has five stable isotopes, of which a few are used for the production of radioisotopes. Although radioactive Zr-95 is a fission product, it can also produced by neutron irradiation of Zr-94. Zr-96 has been used for the production of the radioisotope Zr-97. Zr-90 can be used for the production of the PET isotope Nb-90. Finally, Zr-90 has been proposed for cladding in nuclear fuel. The use of Zr-90 would lower even further the already low neutron absorption cross section of natural Zr that is currently used as fuel cladding.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of zirconium are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
90Zr 89.9047026 (26) 51.45 (40) 0
91Zr 90.9056439 (26) 11.22 (5) 5/2 -1.30362
92Zr 91.9050386 (26) 17.15 (8) 0

Isotope abundances of zirconium
Isotope abundances of zirconium. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of zirconium are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of zirconium, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
