All beta-decay stable nuclides with A ≥ 209 are known to undergo alpha decay, though for some, spontaneous fission is the dominant decay mode. Cluster decay is sometimes also possible, but in all known cases it is a minor branch compared to alpha decay or spontaneous fission. Alpha decay is energetically possible for all beta-stable nuclides with A ≥ 165 with the single exception of Hg, but in most cases the Q -value is small enough that such decay has never been seen. With the exception of No, no nuclides with A > 260 have been definitively identified as beta-stable. Fm and No are unconfirmed. Moreover, the known beta-stable nuclei for individual masses A > 257 may not represent the complete set.
