Remark on the entropy balance for the unstable particles

The entropy balance equation is derived for a system of unstable particles in the Markovian approximation using the Gibbs-von Neumann form of entropy. The results for the entropy production and the entropy flow are finite if the initial state of the decay products is not a pure vacuum state.
