Abstract
A FEW years ago, Wasserman, Twardock and Comar1 investigated the metabolic dissociation of caesium-137–barium-137m in animals. A value for the half-life of barium-137m could be estimated from their data; it appeared to be about 2.52 min, compared with the 2.60 min previously measured by Mitchell and Peacock2.
