// CHANGE HISTORY
// --------------
// 16 February 2006, V.Ivanchenko fix problem in IsApplicable connected with
//            8.0 particle design
// 18 October 2002, F. Lei
//            in the case of beta decay, added a check of the end-energy 
//            to ensure it is > 0.
//            ENSDF occationally have beta decay entries with zero energies
//
// 27 Sepetember 2001, F. Lei
//            verboselevel(0) used in constructor
//
// 01 November 2000, F.Lei
//            added " ee = e0 +1. ;" as line 763
//            tagged as "radiative_decay-V02-00-02"              
// 28 October 2000, F Lei 
//            added fast beta decay mode. Many files have been changed.
//            tagged as "radiative_decay-V02-00-01"
//
// 25 October 2000, F Lei, DERA UK
//            1) line 1185 added 'const' to work with tag "Track-V02-00-00"
//            tagged as "radiative_decay-V02-00-00"
// 14 April 2000, F Lei, DERA UK
// 0.b.4 release. Changes are:
//            1) Use PhotonEvaporation instead of DiscreteGammaDeexcitation
//            2) VR: Significant efficiency improvement
// 
// 29 February 2000, P R Truscott, DERA UK
// 0.b.3 release.
