Is there an open data set for this?

More complete data is available at the national nuclear data center:

http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/

The data is freely distributed, but I don't know if it can be redistributed.

Thanks for the URLs! Shouldn't the data be freely redistributable since its coming from a national lab? I thought all US gov data was public domain.
