Possible theoretical electromagnetic paths between the ground state and the isomeric state at 75.3 keV in 180Ta are discussed in the framework of the two-quasiparticle-plus-phonon model and the standard axially-symmetric rotor model including Coriolis mixing. Experimental transition rates from the isomeric state to the ground state via observed mediating states are compared to the theoretical ones.
