The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Are there any comprehensive lists of radioactive isotopes that emit alpha particles?

I was just curious about this information, as a means of understanding atomic processes. Possibly, such a comprehensive list of radioactive isotopes that emit alpha particles would be inconsistent with basic principles of Quantum Mechanics? The notion that energy emission of atoms can never be perfectly understood? And, perhaps, that explains why such a list is unavailable? Because basic Quantum Theory says such a list is, actually, impossible? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides
