	Decay product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Decay products are extremely important in understanding radioactive decay and the management of radioactive waste.
		The result of this is that most radionuclides do not have simply a decay product, but rather a decay chain, leading eventually to a stable nuclide.
		Because of this, decay products are important to scientists in many fields who need to know the quantity or type of the parent product.

	Decay chain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nearly all the decay products of radioactive decay are themselves radioactive.
		Because of this, most radioactive substances do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.
		Three main decay chains are observed in nature, commonly called the uranium series, the thorium series, and the actinium series, representing three of these four classes, and ending in three different, stable isotopes of lead.

		As the radon decay products that are collected on the filter decay, negatively charged ions generated by alpha particle radiation are collected on a positively-charged electret, thereby reducing its surface voltage.
		Grab sampling measurements of radon decay product concentrations in air are performed by collecting the decay products from a known volume of air on a filter and by counting the activity on the filter during or following collection.
		Sampling using these methods requires collection of radon decay products on a filter, and measuring the alpha activity of the sample with a calibrated detector at time intervals that are specific for each method.

	Alpha Decay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Po decaying by the emission of an alpha particle.
		In alpha decay, the atomic number changes, so the original (or parent) atoms and the decay-product (or daughter) atoms are different elements and therefore have different chemical properties.
		In the alpha decay of a nucleus, the change in binding energy appears as the kinetic energy of the alpha particle and the daughter nucleus.

	Radon Decay Product Measurement
		The measurement of radon decay products was the primary methodology used during the 1960’s to mid 1980’s as a means to monitor employee exposures in underground mines, and was the basis for clean-up efforts in certain western states where uranium mill tailings had inappropriately been used for building materials.
		The correlation of actual exposure to radon decay products (WLM) to the incidence of lung cancer is the basis of the health studies from uranium miner exposures that form the foundation of EPA’s recommendations and OSHA regulations, of an action level of.02 WL.
		In order to relate the measurement of radon to an equivalent amount of radon decay products, it was necessary to assume a ratio of the amount of radon decay products that are produced and available for inhalation from the amount of radon in the air.

		If the decay products are not stable, their decay contributes to the total activity and makes planning for radiation protection more complex.
		The pattern of ingrowth varies according to the relative length of the half-lives of the original radionuclide and its decay products.

	3. A New Approach: The Simple Decay Approach
		The harvested carbon is added to the "product stocks" each year, and each year a portion of the product stock is "emitted" due to product disposal or decay (using an arbitrary 10% for this example).
		Instant decay emissions will be incorporated in inventories soonest, while the emissions from exponential decay may be delayed considerably longer and hence incorporated in more distant inventories (with potentially different calculation or allocation rules).
		The Simple Decay approach acknowledges the delay in emissions created by products, with more benefit from the production of sawlogs since they are assumed to have the greatest potential to be used for long lived products.

	Progeny Group Limited
		Since it is the decay products of radon that present the primary health risk associated with the presence of radon, it is logical that measurement of radon decay products would be preferable over radon gas measurements.
		By measuring both radon and radon and radon decay products, one is provided with a measure of the actual risk (from radon decay products) and the potential risk (from radon gas).
		If the conditions that are causing the radon decay products to be lower than the EPA's action level, such as air circulation, air filters, clean air, etc., are conditions that are expected to exist during normal occupied periods, then the radon decay product measurement takes precedence over the radon gas measurements.

	Rate of Growth and Decay of Product Sales in a given Market (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The product death rate is proportional to the actual product population.
		Adding the production required to compensate for the product's death rate to the production required to meet initial population growth we get a curve which rises to a very high initial peak and then sinks back again to a low constant demand.
		Demand for the product after the market has reached saturation can be improved by shortening the product's life-span (ie: the length of service it gives before wearing out) and also by making it non-repairable.

	Aware Electronics Corp. V-TAC Page
		While testing different procedures for collecting Radon decay product from various rock samples, we noticed the "plating out" of decay product onto a metal plate was greatly enhanced if a negative charge was applied to the plate, indicating the decay product is positively charged.
		The electrostatic field is very effective at attracting freshly generated Radon decay product, so much so that perhaps most, if not all, Radon decay product collects on the negatively charged plate.
		Since essential all the decay product generated migrates to the charged plate, Radon equilibrium within the sealed can is not necessary to achieve maximal decay product collection, given the short half-life of the decay products of interest (20 to 40 minutes) as compared to the half-life of Radon (3.8 days).

	Modes of Radioactive Decay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The sum of the mass numbers of the products (234 + 4) is equal to the mass number of the parent nuclide (238), and the sum of the charges on the products (90 + 2) is equal to the charge on the parent nuclide.
		Once again the sum of the mass numbers of the products is equal to the mass number of the parent nuclide and the sum of the charge on the products is equal to the charge on the parent nuclide.
		Thus, although it is theoretically possible to observe a fourth mode of beta decay corresponding to the capture of a positron, this reaction does not occur in nature.
