Band of stability for atomic nuclei refer to a narrow region in the graph of number of neutrons to the number of protons for stable nuclei. It is the band of nuclei stability.

We know that radioactive elements achieve stability be ejecting nucleons (neutrons and protons). The regions (combination of number of neutrons and protons) in which the nucleus is most is called band of stability.
