I agree and will on it later. As it now stands, the sentence following it seems to be talking about the even/even when I am talking about the magnetically active ones.  Got to fly now.
Also, the list is not complete, and only lists the common isotopes, not crazy short-lived atom smasher created ones.

magnets used for NMR spectra are really strong (I have used magnets up to 60 Gauss) and cooled down (nitrogen most of the time) but superconductivity played no part to create these spectra. Only good channel analyzers and patience - many spectra took the best part of 72 hours to get a signal above the noise level.

It is the superconducting coils that allows for extremely large currents ( say 200 Amps or more)to last for years in a circular loop, which IS the magnetic field (Faraday effect).  They actually all have a liquid Helium bath in the center, surrounded by a liquid N2 bath.  N2 is filled every week or two, helium every 6-8 weeks.  I don't recall the Gauss conversion, our magnets are about 17-20 Telsa (or 600, 750 and 800 MHz proton frequency).

It is the superconducting coils that allows for extremely large currents ( say 200 Amps or more)to last for years in a circular loop, which IS the magnetic field (Faraday effect). They actually all have a liquid Helium bath in the center, surrounded by a liquid N2 bath. N2 is filled every week or two, helium every 6-8 weeks. I don't recall the Gauss conversion, our magnets are about 17-20 Telsa (or 600, 750 and 800 MHz proton frequency).
