> mercury-203 (also radioactive)

What a horrible combination, mercury is poisonous enough by itself, it truly has no business being radioactive.

And if that's not enough, mercury-203 decays into thallium-203 (stable) with a half-life of 46.6 days. Thallium is even more toxic than mercury. You really don't want that gold-203.
