Radioactive decay clocks

If I take a source of cs137 and a geiger counter, I can measure its radioactive decay.

If I know the value of , , , and background radiation, I could solve for , then calculate .

How accurate could I get this, in terms of seconds? (drift would be zero)

How come nobody makes radioactive decay clocks?

Yes, but they don't rely on radioactive decay.
