How is cluster decay different from spontaneous fission? --Smack (talk) 02:47, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

SF happens as fission, where the daughter products are fairly random. You will never know if any single atom will decay into Tc-100 and Sb-124 or something else. In cluster decay there is always the same particle emitted. --metta, The Sunborn 18:28, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
