The evaluated spectroscopic data are presented for 12 known nuclides with A=217 (Tl, Pb, Bi, Po, At, Rn, Fr, Ra, Ac, Th, Pa, U). For Tl-217, Pb-217, Pa-217, and U-217 nuclei, only information on the ground state is available. Levels in Bi-217 are known only from isomer decay following fragmentation reaction and those in At-217 and Rn-217 only from the a decay of Fr-221 and Ra-221, respectively. High spin levels in Ra-217 are mainly from 1987SuZY and 2011MuZZ which are a lab report and thesis, respectively. Due to differences between these studies, further experimental study is needed to firmly establish the level scheme.This evaluation was carried out as part of a joint IAEA-ICTP workshop for Nuclear Structure and Decay Data, organized and hosted by the IAEA, Vienna and ICTP, Trieste, Aug 22 to Sept 2 2016. The evaluation work was coordinated by E.A. McCutchan (BNL). This work supersedes the previous previous A=217 evaluation (2003Ak06) by Y.A. Akovali.
