I think spontaneous just means it will occur without any prodding from us. so a < 1keV beta decay doesn't exist?

Dictionary.com - Happening or arising without apparent external cause; self-generated; natural and unconstrained btw, do you know of anything that emits only 1 keV or less when it beta decays or anywhere where I can find such information?

hamster, would heating the beta decay product into the reaction be spontaneous?

does anyone know an example of the stuff mentioned in first post?

To 1st poster: Fission, fusion, whichever. As long as it's cold. And to 2nd poster, is there an example of this?

is such a thing possible? I am curious to know if this could/does exist. An alternative would be if someone gave an example of a reaction where electron capture occurs and the product ends up being stable enough to not decay into anything further. Thanks (btw, does cold fission exist...
