The Health Physicist's Companion by Syberad

Radiation Protection   - Software   Solutions for Safety Professionals

Radiation protection advisers need fast access to accurate radionuclide and X-ray set data, The Health Physicist's Companion by Syberad is an easy to use software tool that provides radiation protection advisers with the information they need, at a price they can afford.

Features:

• Database of more than 2800 nuclides
• Radioactivity
  • Calculate future and past radioactivities for any nuclide in the database.
• Dose rates and radiation shielding
  • Calculate dose rates for any nuclide, at any distance, for any activity or mass and with various types of shielding in place.
  • 'Capped' dose calculations:
    • Compute the activity, distance, time or shield thickness needed for a specified dose rate
  • Calculate radiation shielding build-up factors.
  • Calculate beta emission dose rates.
• Photon attenuation coefficients database
• Radiological units conversion
  • Including radon quantity conversions
• Serial decay
  • Display and print nuclide decay series.
  • Calculate daughter radioactivities.
  • Calculate maximum daughter 'in-growth' times.
• X-ray sets
  • Calculate dose rates (for tube V, mAs & distance).
  • Calculate attenuation in shielding materials.
• Integrated algebraic scientific calculator
• On-line help and radiation tutorials
• Hypertext version of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (UK only)
