Abstract

The half-lives of six gamma-emitting nuclides were determined by comparison with radium standards, using a lead-shielded ionization chamber. The following results were obtained: Sc46: 83.89±0.12 days; Co60: 5.24±0.03 years; Zn65: 243.5±0.8 days; Ag110m:252.5±1.5 days; Cs134: 2.07±0.02 years; Eu152,154: 12.2±0.2 years. The errors quoted are twice the standard deviation calculated from a least-squares analysis.
