    Your comment above gave the half lives of the main substances and their secondary products, right? Could you recommend any resources for someone to learn how to do what you did above?

      To expand a bit, you look up the isotope, look at their decay products, and then look up their decay products, and so on until you get to a stable isotope (usually lead or iron).

      I used nothing but about 20 Wikipedia pages lol. It would be more if I also checked the less common decay path but that’s <2% at most.
