Abstract

We have repeated the measurement of radiogenic ⁸²Kr and ¹³⁰Xe in the mineral kitkaite, NiTeSe, and obtained half-life values of (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10²⁰y for ⁸²Se and (7.5 ± 0.3) × 10²⁰y for ¹³⁰Te based on the parent/daughter ratios in the kitkaite and the xenon retention age of associated uraninite. The mineralization age of the kitkaite is used to set upper limits of T_{1 2} ⁸² ≤ 2 × 10²⁰y and T_{1 2} ¹³⁰ ≤ 12.5 × 10²⁰y.
