re K-40



K-40 decays to Ca-40 in 89 % of its decays by beta emission but  11%
of the time it decays to Ar-40 via electron capture.

A glance at the chart of the nuclides shows the decay modes and
products while a reference such as Kocher's "Radioactive Decay Data
Tables' gives the percent yeilds/intensities.
