  Time modulations at per mil level have been reported to take place in the
decay constant of about 15 nuclei with period of one year (most cases) but also
of about one month or one day. In this paper we give the results of the
activity measurement of a 40K source and a 232Th one. The two experiments have
been done at the Gran Sasso Laboratory during a period of about 500 days, above
ground (40K) and underground (232Th) with a target sensitivity of a few parts
over 10^5. We also give the results of the activity measurement at the time of
the X-class solar flares which took place in May 2013. Briefly, our
measurements do not show any evidence of unexpected time dependence in the
decay rate of 40K and 232Th.
