Ha! Bingo! Oak Ridge it is. I'm not a scientist or physicist, but I worked with them a number of times and this stuff just rubs off on you if you pay attention.
I'm actually a software developer. The closet I came to needing real knowledge of radioactive decay, etc. was a project I worked on for a manufacturer of medical isotpes. I had to write a module that hooked into their MRP (manufacturing) system. It determined how much total "activity" was on their property at any given time so that they could prove to NRC regulators that they were within licensed limits. This presented an interesting problem because most of the material they handled had extremely short half-lives. However much activity was onsite at one moment was quite different than an hour later. And the amount of each element changed because some of each element decayed into another element with a different half-life. Talk about a moving target!
