Using the 4~MeV/u)+6~ reaction and on-line mass separation, the decay 96 properties of 46Pdso were reinvestigated. From a comparison of experimental and theoretical fl § + fl+) probability ratios, the QEc value was deduced to be 3,450_+ 150 keV. The strength was determined for four 0+~ 1 § Gamow-Teller beta transitions and found to be quenched as compared to predictions of the single-particle shell model. For 96pd and 94Ru the sources of this quenching are discussed.
