Abstract
The half-life for the decay of to has been measured to be (2.0±0.6)× yr by chemically isolating and measuring from the resultant alpha particles the amount of plutonium that had accumulated in 35 yr from 8.4 Kg of purified uranyl nitrate. Other sources of have been studied and found negligible.
