A stable isotopes won't decay. But for radioisotopes, it's practically impossible, at least as far as our current knowledge goes. but we do have technology to slow or speed up the process of decay. it happen in the every nuclear reactors. usually through the manipulation of the freed neutrons.

At what point do isotopes stop decaying?
A radioactive isotope will stop decaying when there are no more atoms of the isotope left.
Do nuclear isotopes stop decaying when control rods are down?
No, it is not correct; only a nuclear chain reaction can be stopped with control rods.
Atoms keep decaying until?
Radioactive atoms continue to decay until the daughter atom is stable.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What are the names of common isotopes of selenium?
Selenium has six naturally occurring isotopes, five of which are stable: 74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, and 80Se. The last three also occur as fission products, along with 79Se, which has a half-life of 327,000 years. The final naturally occurring isotope, 82Se, has a very long half-life (~1020 yr, decaying via double beta decay to 82Kr), which, for practical purposes, can be considered to be stable. Twenty-three other unstable isotopes have been characterized

What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released

Why are decomposers so critical to the community?
Because they help keep the environment clean, by breaking down dead or decaying organisms.
How can you stop things from decaying?
don't die and you won't decay. if that falls you can drain them of oxygen and keep them in a cool dry place. your decision
