Np239 -> Pu239[edit]
The article states that
Neptunium-239 has a half-life of about 2.4 days and decays into plutonium-239, following two subsequent beta decays.
Other references, including Britannica seem to indicate that there is only one beta decay. I am only an interested learner in this area and perhaps I am misinterpreting what I am reading. Could anyone with more knowledge check this and make the change if necessary?

- Somebody probably had in mind that uranium-239 to plutonium-239 involves two beta decays, although you're right, that's not what that sentence should say. I fixed it. Ardric47 06:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
