Re: Mathematica 9 IsotopeData is no longer self-consistent

You must have used "Name" rather than "FullSymbol" to get the name.
However, use "StandardName" vice "Name" for use in subsequent
commands.
IsotopeData["Np239", "Name"]
"neptunium-239"
sn = IsotopeData["Np239", "StandardName"]
"Neptunium239"
IsotopeData[sn, "DecayModes"]
{"BetaDecay", "AlphaEmission"}
IsotopeData[sn, #] & /@ %
{True, True}
Presumably you meant "AlphaEmission" rather than "AlphaDecay"
MemberQ[IsotopeData["Properties"], "AlphaDecay"]
False
