Revised Web Addresses: Pages 13 and 14 The world-wide web is a valuable but dynamic resource with new sites being created and old ones being shut down. Site web pages are also constantly being redesigned and addresses changed. Many of the web addresses on pages 13 and 14 have changed. Section 1.3, last line: The address for the chart of the nuclides is now http://www.chartofthenuclides.com . Section 1.3.1: Everything past the first paragraph should be replaced with the following: The following site, in particular, has a large number of links to the major nuclear and atomic data repositories in the world. http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/usndp/usndp-subject.html The following sites offer large compilations of fundamental nuclear and atomic data as well as links to other data sites. http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/ http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/contents.html http://isotopes.lbl.gov/
