Isotopes of tungsten



Naturally occurring alpha emission; 180W has been observed to have a half life of 1.8 +- 0.2 Ea. The other naturally occurring isotopes have not been observed to decay, constraining their half-lives to be: 182W, T1/2 > 8.3 Ea; 184W, T1/2 > 29 Ea; 185W, T1/2 > 13 Ea; 186W, T1/2 > 27 Ea. [1] On average, two alpha decays of 180W occur in one gram of natural tungsten per year.
