Record 1, Textual support, English
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Succession of nuclides, each of which transforms by radioactive disintegration into the next until a stable nuclide results. The first member is called the "parent", the intermediate members are called "daughters" and the final stable member is called the "end product". 5, record 1, English, - decay%20chain
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
"Radioactive series" is considered by most specialized sources as a synonym for "radioactive family" (see that other record). 6, record 1, English, - decay%20chain

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les noyaux de masses moyennes résultant de la rupture des noyaux fissiles lourds sont très radioactifs. Ils sont eux-mêmes à l'origine de chaînes de décroissance radioactive comportant en moyenne trois nucléides successifs jusqu'à l'obtention d'un nuclide stable. 4, record 1, French, - cha%C3%AEne%20de%20d%C3%A9sint%C3%A9gration
