Radioacive decay chain: Thorium series

ModelId: 
Thorium-series
SimileVersion: 
5.9

 Description 

Unstable isotopes decay eventually reaching an uquilibrium ;low energy stable isotope. Often there are transition (ustable) isotopes  that the material transforms into on the way to transformoing into the end (stable) isotope.

The fundemental equation for the exponetial rate of decay from the parent isotope to a daughter isotope is give by:

\frac{dN}{dt} = -\lambda N
