Abstract
ISOTOPES of several heavy elements (Z = 94–100) have recently been produced in the Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) in Arco, Idaho. It has thus been possible to extend the data on partial spontaneous fission half-lives to isotopes of berkelium, californium, element 99 and element 100 1–5. Table 1 gives a summary of the nuclear properties of several isotopes of these elements.
