We report on the measurement of the two-neutrino double-beta decay half-life of $$^{130}$$130Te with the CUORE-0 detector. From an exposure of 33.4 kg year of TeO$$_2$$2, the half-life is determined to be $$T_{1/2}^{2\nu }$$T1/22ν = [8.2 ± 0.2 (stat.) ± 0.6 (syst.)] $$\times$$× 10$$^{20}$$20 year. This result is obtained after a detailed reconstruction of the sources responsible for the CUORE-0 counting rate, with a specific study of those contributing to the $$^{130}$$130Te neutrinoless…
