Various schemes of producing the 3.5-eV isomer of 229ruTh by radiative pumping the atom of 229Th in the ground state are considered. Due to the resonance properties of the electron shell, some of the schemes turn out 1o be more effective than radiative pumping the bare nucleus of the same element. (~) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
