Hello
Pr-142 decays mostly beta- to three levels of 142Nd, 96.3% of the decays
go to the Ce ground state, in the other cases gamma-rays are emitted.
142Nd is stable. In about 2% of cases, Pr decays via electron capture to
142Ce, ground or excited. 142Ce is assumed to be stable (it's a
double-beta decay candidate)
