It's correct that Eactivation= V - Q
if Eactivation less than binding energy of last neutron in 209Bi
then a neutron with zero kinetic energy , fission immediately occur
but if Eactivation greater than binding energy of last neutron
the difference between them is neutron kinetic energy
All nuclei with A > 210 are alpha emitters, yet very few emit protons spontaneously.
Yet both decays lower the Coulomb energy of the nucleus. Why is
proton decay not more common?
