Alpha and spontaneous fission half-lives of /sup 242/Pu

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5106254· OSTI ID:5106254
The alpha and spontaneous fission half-lives of /sup 242/Pu are measured relative to the alpha half-life of /sup 239/Pu. If the alpha half-life of /sup 239/Pu is 24290 +- 70 y, the /sup 242/Pu alpha half-life is (3.736 +- .029) x 10/sup 5/ y and the spontaneous fission half-life is (6.79 +- .04) x 10/sup 10/ y.
