Abstract
SNELL1 first reported that the half-life of radioactive bromine-82 was 33.9 ± 0.1 hr. Berne2 has recently determined the half-life of this isotope and reported a value of 36.0 ± 0.1 hr. Chiang and Willard3 suggested that the half-life is nearer 35 hr. than the generally quoted value of 34 hr.4.
