Beta-decay properties like half-lives, decay branching ratios, and isomeric states are key inputs that guide astrophysical nucleosynthesis calculations and fission model. The availability of the nuclear data as well as its accuracy directly impacts the quality of different model predictions. We have performed a number of experiments at the Californium Rare Breeder Upgrade Facility (CARIBU) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to measure some of the important data including nuclear masses and decay properties in the region of doubly magic 132Sn. I will present the results of these studies and plans for the future measurements at ANL and other radioactive ion beam facilities.
