An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
daughter isotope
For example a thorium isotope is Th-231 or 23190 Th.
Another isotope is produced.
This isotope is lead-206.
This is the isotope erbium-167.
The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.

Beryllium-9 is a stable isotope.
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
Strontium-90 and cesium-137 and a whole lot more.
The plutonium isotope with 144 neutrons is plutonium-244. It is a rare and long-lived isotope with a half-life of about 80 million years. It is produced in supernova explosions and has potential applications in nuclear weapons and spacecraft power sources.
Argon-40 is the most commonly found isotope of argon on Earth, with a natural abundance of about 99.6%. This isotope is stable and is produced from the radioactive decay of potassium-40 in the Earth's crust.
