External bremsstrahlung spectra produced in thick targets of copper, molybdenum, cadmium, iodine, and lead by ..beta.. particles of /sup 90/Sr-/sup 90/Y were measured using a 4.55-cm x 5.08-cm NaI(Tl) crystal. The conventional ..beta..-stopper method was followed. The measured spectra were unfolded according to the Liden and Starfelt procedure. The exponents of Z for energy yield and photon yield were found to be 1.20 +- 0.02 and 1.26 +- 0.02, respectively.
