Precise beta spectra measurements are important for radionuclide metrology, the validation of theoretical calculations and nuclear medicine. Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters (MMCs) with the radionuclide sample embedded in a 4π absorber have proven to be among the best beta spectrometers in terms of energy resolution and threshold, linearity and detection efficiency, notably for low energy beta transitions. In this work, two measurements of the spectrum of the 2nd forbidden non-unique beta transition of 99Tc (Q = 297.5 keV) are presented. They were acquired using two independent MMC based detectors in two different laboratories and show excellent agreement. The results suggest a spectral shape which deviates significantly from hitherto theoretical calculations and semi-empirical extrapolations at lower energies (< 50 keV) reported in the literature.
