Abstract: High-precision measurements of the energies of reference γ-rays from the decay of ⁹⁹Mo have been performed with γ-spectrometer. Using these data, the energies of levels 1/2⁺ 920.586 keV, 3/2^- 1004.050 keV and 3/2⁺ 1141.875 keV of ⁹⁹Tc were determined with the accuracy up to a few electron-volts.

Keywords: radioactivity, ⁹⁹Mo, γ-spectra, HPGe-detectors, measurements E(γ), energy of levels.
