Potassium has many isotopes, but the half life of K40 is listed as 1.28x109 years.

This is a much used radioisotope.

Bananas which are rich in potassium have been known to set off radiation alarms at the shipping port, because of the K40 - Ar40 decay.

And another potassium trivia; you'll accumulate about as much radiation by sleeping alongside your partner (who has K40 decay proceeding) as you will get from the ionization type smoke detector.
