Abstract

Measurements on xenon and tellurium from a Kirkland Lake telluride show that the half-life for the double betadecay of ¹³⁰Te is 2.03 ± 0.30 × 10²¹ years and that of ¹²⁸Te is ≧ 1.2 × 10²³ years. It is shown that the excess ¹²⁹Xe and ¹³¹Xe in tellurium ores does not correlate with the ¹³⁰Te·¹³⁰Xe age or with the uranium content.
