Beta-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclides in the $A = 100 - 110$ mass region have been measured using an implantation station installed inside of the Summing NaI(Tl) (SuN) detector at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Accurate half-lives for these nuclides are important for nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, and nuclear technology. As a result, the half-lives from the present work are compared with previous measurements, showing overall good agreement.
