20% change from a constant edit
article states:
The stable nucleus has approximately a constant density and therefore the nuclear radius R can be approximated by the following formula, where A = Atomic mass number (the number of protons Z, plus the number of neutrons N) and r0 = 1.25 fm = 1.25 × 10−15 m. In this equation, the constant r0 varies by 0.2 fm, depending on the nucleus in question, but this is less than 20% change from a constant.
I believe I can explain why the fudge factor varies by 20% (from 1 to 1.35)
