Recent information has helped remove contradictions in the assigned properties of the isomeric transition in Sb/sup 122/ The association of a 530- mu sec half-life with the second excited state in Sb/sup 122/ is confirmed and yields an E2 transition which is delayed by a factor of approximates 420. A newly reported third transition in Sb/sup 122m/ is confirmed and shown to precede the 530- mu sec state. The energy of this transition was measured and found to be 26 plus or minus 1 kev. The decay scheme and the hindered transitions are discussed and compared with theory. (auth)
