Yes. Radioactive decay can also be expressed by a decay constant, λ, which is effectively an instantaneous decay rate (relative to the amount present).

λ=ln(2)/t1/2.

It gets a bit more complicated with Y-90 since it is itself a decay product of Sr-90, so it will be produced at the same time it decays.
