Radioactive decay is a statisticle process i.e., we cannot precisely predict the timing of a particular radioactivity of a particular nucleus . The nucleus can disintegrate immediately or it may take infinite time . Simply the probability of the number of nuclei being disintegrated at any instant can be predicted . the rate at which a particular decay process in a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of radioactive nuclei present and thus obeys first order kinetics . the factor dN/N expresses the fraction of nuclei decayed in time dt. t_(1//2) is the time in which half of the atoms are decayed and average life is the time for the nucleus to survive before decay . A freshly prepared radioactive source of half period 2 hour emits radiations on intensity which is 64 times of the permissible safe level. The minimum time after which it would be possible to work with this source is :

The emission of penetraing alpha , beta particle (""_(2) ^(4) He and ""_(-1)^(0)e respectively ) along with gamma - radiation (hv) was noticed from unstable nuclei . All elements having Z gt 82 show this phenomenon . The emission was explained in terms of low binding energy (giving alpha - decay) high n/p ratio (neutron decay) , gamma from a radioactive nuclide is secondary emission The emission of penetrating rays from a radioactive species can be shielded by
