Using the internal conversion electron spectroscopy, the energy of the 15.1 keV nuclear transition in 227Th populated in the
decay of 227Ac was determined to be
eV. This value is more accurate than the present accepted one by a factor of 200. The present uncertainty in the transition multipolarity was removed and it was found to be
with the admixture
