RadiationHelper is a data analysis tool for : 1. gross alpha and beta radiation measurement and detector calibration using experimental data (counts acquired by alpha-beta devices). 2. gamma spectroscopy measurements and detector calibration using experimental data (spectra acquired by acquisition software such as Assayer, Gamma Vision, Maestro) 3. gross alpha,beta, gamma detector efficiencies and gamma peak efficiency can be theoretical computed using Monte-Carlo simulation technique for radiation transport (based on EGSnrc toolkit) 4.dose assessment in human body exposed to radiations from nuclides in several common scenarios such as air exposure, water submersion, ground surface, internal ingestion or inhalation. 5. quick dosimetry and shielding computations. ...

A software called Activity Predictor is developed using Java TM programming language. The Activity Predictor calculates activities, exposure rates and gamma spectra of activated samples for NAA experiments. The calculation procedure for predictions involve both analytical and Monte Carlo methods. The Activity Predictor software is validated by a series of activation experiments. It has been found that this software calculates the activities and exposure rates precisely. The software also...

Radiation detection and measurement education is necessary for a wide variety of people working with radiation. The equipment and laboratory setup needed for delivering this education are expensive and difficult to assemble due to the large variety of the type of experiments that are desirable to cover. For a basic education one needs to have gamma, beta, alpha and neutron sources, at least one detector to detect each type of radiation and other supplemental instrumentation to perform experiments. ...
