Abstract
The identification and characteristics of several beta-emitting nuclides are reported. The half-life of is 65 days, about 700 days, while might be either of two isotopes having half-lives of about 150 days or of at least five years. The mass assignment of has been confirmed in view of its presence in thermal-neutron irradiated tungsten. was found to have a half-life of 16.9 hours. No gamma-radiation could be found by absorption measurements to be associated with the 18-hour daughter of . Thermal-neutron activation cross sections are reported for most of the nuclides.
