The natural transmutation or decay process is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations known as Bateman equations. When the chain involves different decay branches, solutions to the Bateman equations can be complex. In our recent studies, we have developed a set of algorithms for accurately computing multinuclide decays. These algorithms have been implemented as a prototype software platform named Decay Interaction Visualization and Analysis (DIVA) for supporting multinuclide decay calculation, visualization, and analysis.
