Half-life number sequences collected from nuclear data charts are found toobey the Newcomb-Benford law. Based on this fact, it has been suggestedrecently, that this law should be used to test the quality of nuclear decaymodels. In this paper we briefly recall how, when and why the Newcomb-Benfordlaw can be observed in a set of numbers with a given probability distribution.We investigate the special case of nuclear half-lives, and show that the lawprovides no additional clue in understanding decay half-lives. Thus, it canplay no significant role in testing nuclear decay theories.

The significance of using the Newcomb-Benford law as a test of nuclear half-life calculations
