Transport of decay particles

Hello everyone,

I am trying to understand how tracking is done for decay particles. Can someone please explain/clarify the following
statement (Note 4 under section 7.10 (DCYSCORE) in the manual? Perhaps with an example?

"
The scoring of decay radiation is different from all the rest: decay particles are transported once, and a factor
is applied at scoring time depending on the decay time associated to each detector. This factor accounts for
the buildup and decay of the parent nucleus at the specied decay time. This factor is not available in user
routines such as fluscw and comscw
"

Thank you very much,
Mina
