The authors determine the half life of Cm 243 (T/sub alpha 243/) relative to the half-life of Cm 244 (whose value is known with high accuracy) from the molar ratios of the mixture of the nuclide studied with Cm 244 and the nuclides of plutonium, forming as a result of the alpha decay of curium nuclides. The results of the calculations of T/sub alpha 243/ based on the formula presented are shown. The random error for the average value of T/sub alpha 243/ is presented with a confidence probability of 0.95.
