All radioactive isotopes decay at their own rate, yes. It is expressed as "half life", the length of time it takes for the isotopes radioactivity to drop by 1/2. For some trans-uranic elements, the half life is measured in thousandths of a second. But, for plutonium, it is millions of years. For radium, it is 1600 years. For iodine, it is eight days. Each one is different.
