The ~(nat)Os targetsare irradiated with 14MeV neutrons. Gamma ray spectroscopy from the chemically separatedtungsten sources using an HPGe detector has revealed the presence of twenty-two gamma rayswhich can be assigned to the decay of~(189)W. Eighteen of them are new gamma rays which havenever been reported before.Key words~(189)W Gamma rays Decay curve Chemical separation
