Abstract
The radiolanthanide <sup>161</sup> Tb is being studied as an alternative to <sup>177</sup> Lu for targeted radionuclide tumor therapy. Both β <sup>-</sup> -particle emitters show similar chemical behavior and decay characteristics, but <sup>161</sup> Tb delivers additional conversion and Auger electron emissions that may enhance the therapeutic efficacy. In this study, the half-life of <sup>161</sup> Tb was determined by a combination of three independent measurement systems: reference ionization chamber (CIR, chambre d'ionization de référence), portable ionization chamber (TCIR) and a CeBr <sub>3</sub> γ-emission detector with digital electronics. The half-life determined for <sup>161</sup> Tb is 6.953(2) days, showing a significant improvement in the uncertainty, which is one order of magnitude lower, with a deviation of 0.91% from the last nuclear data reference value. The previous large uncertainty of the half-life had a direct impact on activity measurements. Now it is no more an obstacle to a primary standardization.
