Abstract

The half-life of79Se, a long-lived fission product nuclide, has never been measured accurately. The value quoted in the literature is an upper limit, ≤6.5·104 y, measured in 1949. In the present work we measured accurately the half-life of79Se to be (4.8±0.4)·105 y using a radiochemical method.
