Oofff, yeah, that was a mistake. Thank you for clarifying. I really wasn't getting what the other user was trying to communicate, but it does make sense now. I was having a hard time seeing it because I was like "yes, that's correct?" not seeing where the actual blunder on my part was lol.

Yes, U-238 is more stable than U-234. I incorrectly wrote the reverse before.

Degree of stability would refer to the rate of decay, which generally is going to strongly correspond to the half-life. (I think the error happened in an edit, where I was previously still talking about Pa. Either way, I messed up)
