Mdecay
V2.01 is a high-performance software (available on CD-ROM) dedicated to
radioactive decay. It was developed by ONDRAF/NIRAS and is intended for
Windows 9.X or 2000/XP compatible PC's.Mdecay provides the user with two main tools:
• an information tool on the different radionuclides (498 radionuclides);
• a calculation tool for one or more radionuclides (spectrum) and for the activities of all their daughters for one or more periods in arithmetical, geometric or discreet progression.
Mdecay also fulfills the following functions:
• the calculation of the total alpha and beta activities as well as the thermic power of these spectrums;
• the application of numerical methods (search of values and integration) to the results of the decay calculations;
• the management of the files of the studied spectrums;
• a graphical presentation of the different types of decay and their modes as well as the stable nuclide(s) at the end of the chain;
• a navigation between the different radionuclides;
• search tools for similar or related species.
Mdecay does not have the following:
• a help menu (this will be included in the next version);
• a graphical interface for displaying the charts resulting from the various calculations of the different types of decay (it is, nevertheless, possible to send the results to the clipboard for re-use in a spreadsheet to create charts).
ONDRAF/NIRAS is pleased to be able to offer this CD-ROM free of charge in English. You can order it directly from this website by checking the corresponding box in our list of publications and completing the order form below.
