The exact half-life-determination of beta decays plays an important role in modern physics - amongst others for dating or the understanding of nucleosynthesis. The progress in instrumentation and technology during the last decade suggested a re-measurement of previously investigated nuclides with reduced systematic and statitical uncertainties. One possible access to a nuclides half-live is given by the activity of a suitable, well characterised sample. In order to determine the activity of the long-lived nuclide 129I, an adequate sample was produced via neutron irradiation of 128Te at the TRIGA reactor Mainz. The long-lived activity of the sample was characterised via γ- and X-Ray-spectroscopy at the "Niederniveau-Messlabor-Felsenkeller (VKTA)" in Dresden. The reduced background from cosmic-radiation, in particular muon-induced background in the underground laboratory enables the detection of very low activities. The results from 129I activity measurements with a high-resolution Silicon-Drift-Detector at low-background-conditions and a corresponding half-life estimation will be presented.
