My Radioactivity simulation program has some interesting potential uses for the construction of hypothetical models and for safety calculations in the design of facilities which house radioactive materials. I make no promises as to when these feats will be accomplished but if I’m able I would like to develop the program to do the following things in three usable stages:
Version 1: (suitable for estimating total energies of non-neutron sources)
- Support for reading decay chain data off of input files (to facilitate the use of experimental data and to allow for easy updating of established data)
- Output time average energies sorted by type
- Output based on time ranges
- Output of the atomic mass and element name of the nuclei which exist in the simulation at any given time
- Simple spherical geometry calculations that can predict counts for an exposed point source with a defined area assuming no obstructions
Version 2: (suitable for predicting radiation exposures from non-neutron emitting sources)
- User defined 3d objects containing radioactive nuclei
- User defined 3d object obstructions
- Calculates the energy flux through a user defined test area or absorption in a user defined test volume
Version 3: (suitable for the predictive design of working facilities and storage units for radioactive materials)
- Calculates secondary radioactivity from neutron poisoning of user-defined volumes
- Calculates photon generation in/on user-defined volumes
- Calculates temperature and heat flows through user-defined volumes
