The paper derives the internal conversion rate for the thorium-229 nuclear isomer in crystals and shows that it quenches the isomer in about a millisecond whenever the resonance is energetically allowed, compared to the roughly 1000 second radiative lifetime.

Theory of internal conversion of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer in solid-state hosts
The paper derives the internal conversion rate for the thorium-229 nuclear isomer in crystals and shows that it quenches the isomer in about a millisecond whenever the resonance is energetically allowed, compared to the roughly 1000 second radiative lifetime.
