The result of the two beta decays from initially stable populations
of Pb-214 and Bi-214 produces radiation with an approximately 40
minute half life. I constructed a simple spread sheet to model the
decay sequence and it produced a graph of beta production versus time
that very nicely matches the Buda figure.
