====== Radionuclide decay pair ======

A radionuclide decay pair is a link in a [[Radionuclide_decay_chain|radionuclide decay chain]]. The pair specifies a parent [[Radionuclide|radionuclide]] and a daughter [[Radionuclide|radionuclide]] as well as a branching ratio. The branching ratio is necessary because a parent may have several daughter [[Radionuclide|radionuclides]]. The branching ratio is a number between 0 and 1 which determines how much of ratio of the parent [[Radionuclide|radionuclide]] is transformed into the daughter due to radioactive decay.
