摘要
During a recent coordinated research programme organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the half-lives of 36 radionuclides were evaluated to assess their suitability as standards for detector calibrations. That exercise hihglighted several radionuclides, including 137Cs, for which there were significant discrepancies between the published data. Half-life values for 137Cs have been examined in more detail in an attempt to discover some of the causes of the observed differences and suggest more specific recommendations for metrologists and evaluators. © 1990.
