The nuclear isomer 121m2Te was synthesized at a cyclotron by the (d,2n) reaction and then incorporated into the MgO ceramic. This γ-ray source was stored either at 78 or at 298 K. The measured γ-radiation intensity ratio, R = (Φ573 keV/Φ212 keV), at 78 K appeared to be higher by a factor of 1.0012 ± 0.0002 than at 298 K. The temperature dependence of R is caused by the low-temperature increase in the "constant" λ2 of the 121m2Te → 121m1Te decay by the internal conversion mechanism, equal toΔλ2/λ2 = (0.07 ± 0.02)%. The same increase in the decay constant due to induced λ-ray emission, 121m2Te + hν (81.79 keV) → 121m1Te + 2hν (81.79 keV), will be reached if both the size of the 121m2Te source and the 121m2Te concentration in it will be increased by 3 orders of magnitude, i.e., the total 121m2Te activity should be increased by 6 orders of magnitude.
