 99TC c  The {+99}Tc isomeric state decays mainly via the 2.17-keV E3
 99TC2c  transition which is highly converted. The decay constant
 99TC3c  depends slightly on the electronic environment of the
 99TC4c  nucleus. Experimentally studied dependence on
 99TC5c  chemical state: 1980Ma03, 1972Ni07, 1953Ba41;
 99TC6c  temperature: 1972Ni07, 1958Be92; pressure (1972Ma27);
 99TC7c  external electric field: 1970Le25;
 99TC8c  a theoretical study of these effects together with a review
 99TC9c  of the experimental results is reported by 1977Do07.
 99TCAc  See 2004BeZR for evaluated decay data.
 99TC c  For calculation of atomic electron densities and changes in
 99TC2c  |a caused by the chemical and ionization state see 1981Hi03.
 99TC c  The influence of the chemical environment on the conversion
 99TC2c  electron spectrum has been investigated in 1983Dr15 and 1982Ge01,
 99TC3c  the influence on I(K|a| x ray), I(K|b| x ray) in 1981Yo08.

 99TC cG RI        Uncertainty in I|g has been estimated by evaluators.
 99TC cG RI        I|g(140.5)=100 {I3} x 0.89 {I3}=89.0% {I3}, per
 99TC2cG 100 decays of {+99}Tc(6.0 h). The very low
 99TC3cG uncertainty of 0.3% is due to the covariant relation between the
 99TC4cG relative |g-ray intensity (100) and the normalization factor (0.89),
 99TC5cG the latter deduced by evaluators from the decay scheme.
