Gross decay properties are the nuclear part of the input for calculations of elemental abundances. They depend, sometimes very sensitively, on details of nuclear structure. Models for predictions of nuclear masses and shapes have to be used for isotopes very far from stability. The reliability of extrapolations far from experimentally reachable nuclei is, however, not always granted due to singularities in the nuclear landscape. We review data on the region of the neutron-rich isotopes near A = 100, which is a region of especially dramatic changes.
