long (many times the age of the universe) that decay has only recently been detected, and for most practical purposes they can be considered stable, most notably bismuth-209: detection of this decay meant that bismuth was no longer considered stable. It is possible that decay may be observed in other nuclides now considered stable, adding to the list of primordial radionuclides.
* Secondary radionuclides are radiogenic isotopes derived from the decay of primordial radionuclides.
