Abstract

The decay of a 16-minute neptunium activity attributed to

{Np}^{241}

has been studied with anthracene and sodium iodide scintillation counters. The principal mode of decay appears to be a beta group decaying to the ground state of

{Pu}^{241}

with a beta end-point energy of 1.36±0.10 Mev.
