Abstract A two urn Polya-type scheme is considered in whichr black balls (corresponding to the stable form of an element) are added to urn one at every stage and the same number of balls are removed at random at every stage from the same urn. In between these two operations, which form a stage or iteration, a fixed number of balls is exchanged at random between urns one and two. Urn one has a given initial number of white balls (corresponding to a radioactive form of the same element). The problem of interest is to study the stochastic aspect of the number of white balls remaining in urn one (and/or urn two) aftern iterations.
