Experimental data on ground- and excited-state properties for all known nuclei with mass number A = 96 have been compiled and evaluated. States populated in radioactive decay, as well as in nuclear reactions, have been considered. For these nuclei, level and decay schemes, as well as tables of nuclear properties, are presented. This work supersedes the 1993 evaluation by L.K. Peker (1993Pe02). In summary, three isomers were identified in {sup 96}Ag (2003Ba39,1997Gr02), even though the relative energies were not established. In {sup 96}Ru a nuclear fluorescence experiment (2005Li59) determined the spin, branching ratios and transition strengths of dipole excitations; high-spin level properties were reported by 2000Kh02 and 2002Kl07. High spin levels in {sup 96}Tc were studied in 2001Bu19. For {sup 96}Mo, there are new high-spin data (2000Ch42), as well as low-spin levels produced in (n,n{sup '}{gamma}) (2007Le05) and ({gamma},{gamma}{sup '}) (2004Fr30). High spin data (2005Pa48) were obtained for {sup 96}Zr using heavy-ion induced fission. For {sup 96}Sr, new levels were deduced using alpha-induced (2005Pa48) and spontaneous fission. The decay of a (10-) isomer in {sup 96}Rb was studied by 2005Pi13. Several new mass measurements for neutron rich nuclides have been published, which were used to obtain Q-values and separation energies.
