Abstract
A numerical model of spontaneous decay which is continuously observed by a distant detector of emitted particles is constructed. It is shown that ther e is no quantum Zeno effect in such quantum measurement if the interaction between the emitted particles and the detector is short-range and the mass of emitted particles is not zero.
