The authors report results of an experiment to measure the half life of lead 208 against fission. The impetus for this work is earlier work in the case of fermium isotopes, where it was found that addition of two neutrons to fermium, producing isotopes which could decay to fragments with near magic numbers, resulted in tremendous decreases in fission lifetimes. The authors had assumed the same effect could be seen in lead 208. This experiment has put a lower bound of 2{times}10{sup 19} yr on this decay in lead 208.
