   I make a statement and write, that the equation is wrong.   
      
   The reason:   
      
   the increase of energy in form of radiation in nuclear decay is   
   acompanied with decrease of mass of the radioactive probe.   
      
   And because you cannot equate an increase and a decrease, the signs are   
   wrong.   
      
   Also wrong in Einstein's equation is, that these quantities E and m are   
   meant as absolute, while the nuclear decay does not show absolute   
   values, but 'relative' ones.   
      
   'Relative values' means, that say a milligram is missing in the nuclear   
   material of say 1 kg.   
      
   This is a change and not an absolute value.   
      
   How far down a nuclear decay can go, we do not know.   
      
   IOW: we cannot assume, that nuclear decay goes down to zero and makes a   
   sample completely vanish.   
      
   Instead we have only missing material in the middle of a curve and   
   cannot simply declar that curve to be linear.   
      
   This my opinion and for me it doesn't matter, whether you care or not.
