Question: Isotopes and elements in Maple

with(ScientificConstants):

GetElement(Ra,atomicweight);

                  

Why is it a proc?  Isn't atomic weight supposed to display the most stable isotope?  For Ra shouldn't the value displayed = 226?

Also, some isotopes are not up to date. For example Th[209] does not exist.

Just as a thought maybe someone could write a ScientificConstants updater package in the application center?
