A method is proposed for measuring the half-life for spontaneous fission of curium 243. Isotope separation and purification techniques are described and the isotope ratio of the purified target is given. The efficiency of fission fragment detection for solid state mica detectors was measured with a curium 244 standard. Results for the rate of spontaneous fission are tabulated.
