radioactive equilibrium
radioactive equilibrium[¦rād·ē·ō′ak·tiv ‚ē·kwə′lib·rē·əm] (nuclear physics) In radioactivity, the condition of equilibrium in which the rate of decay of the parent isotope is exactly matched by the rate of decay of every intermediate daughter isotope. radioactive equilibrium
ra·di·o·ac·tive e·qui·lib·ri·uma situation (not a true equilibrium) in which a particular atom is being produced by the radioactive breakdown of a precursor while it is itself breaking down, the two breakdowns matching so that over a period of time the ratio of radioactivity of product and precursor is constant. |
