Calculation of radioactivity by chemical kinetics

We measured the rate of reaction in chemical kinetics based on the rate of change of concentration of reactants or products.
But this procedure will not work for calculating the rate of radioactive reaction.
This is because most of the time the radioactive substance is a solid.
Therefore its concentration would be a constant with time (assuming it to be pure and that the product does not remain with the reactants).
Therefore the rate of radioactive reactions are measured by calculating the rate of change of nuclei of the radioactive substance
