Actinium series - Actinium series

Japanese: アクチニウム系列 - あくちにうむけいれつ(英語表記)actinium series
Actinium series - Actinium series

A series of naturally occurring radioactive elements that begins with the uranium isotope 235 U (actinouran), undergoes seven alpha decays and four beta decays to finally reach the stable lead isotope 207 Pb (actinium D). It is called the actinium series because it passes through 227 Ac along the way. It is also called the actinouran series because it begins with actinouran. The mass numbers of nuclides, or atomic species, that belong to this series always leave a remainder of 3 when divided by 4, so it is also called the 4n+3 series. It is naturally found in uranium minerals along with the uranium series, but its amount is said to be about 4.5% of the uranium series.

Japanese:

天然に存在する放射性元素の系列の一つで、ウランの同位体235U(アクチノウラン)から始まって、α(アルファ)崩壊を7回、β(ベータ)崩壊を4回繰り返して最後に鉛の安定同位体207Pb(アクチニウムD)となる系列である。このとき途中で227Acを通過するのでアクチニウム系列という。アクチノウランから始まるのでアクチノウラン系列ともいう。この系列に属する核種、すなわち原子種の質量数を4で割るとつねに3余るので4n+3系列ともいわれる。天然にはウランの鉱物中にウラン系列とともにみいだされるが、その量はウラン系列の4.5%程度であるとされている。
