[ RadSafe ] A question on nuclide energies/libraries for Exploranium GR-135+

[mike at panhectic.com]

Dear all

Charles Hacker's RadDecay *V4* has a problem:  it says this on the
http://www.hakasoft.com.au/raddecay  web site:

"  ** WARNING ** Missing Data
I have been infomed that the ENSDF files I downloaded, had missing data!.
Thus some radionuclides have missing information. 
I will thus need to find a better source for the ENSDF files. I am still in
the process of obtaining better data files. "

(Interpreting ENSDF is non-trivial ;-)   For example, Cs-137 (nor ->
Ba-137m) has no gammas in V4 ... ;-)

Version 3 is ok, but doesn't have as many features.  According to the web
site, it may now be ok with later versions of Windows.

For nuclide lookup, I mostly use the IAEA 'LiveChart of Nuclides'
https://www-nds.iaea.org/relnsd/vcharthtml/VChartHTML.html

http://nucleardata.nuclear.lu.se/toi/ has a gamma search although it's a
little quirky.

Mike.

Hi Nick

Have you tried the freeware program 'Radiation Decay V4' by Charles Hacker?
It has a searchable gamma energy function. Bit easier than flipping through
Schlein.

Dear colleagues,
Happy New Year to everyone!

A question - my Exploranium works just fine after Irian fixed it, but now I
have an issue with downloading the spectra.  I can see them all on the
monitor, but the computer and monitor stopped talking.  Not big deal of an
issue and certainly not a reason to send it for repairs, which may not be
needed, but the charts on monitor display are rather small and all I have is
the list of gamma peak energies.  Identifies Cs-137 and Ra-226 just fine but
I do have several spectra that I do need to interpret...
I do have a huge Schlein volume with gazillions of gamma energies for
everything - but...  Is there some relatively small 'extra' manual for
Exploranium where I can look up the gamma energies and compare those with
what the monitor detects?
At the moment I only need an "industrial" and 'NORM" isotopes, we don't have
anything "nuclear" in Australia to speak of and "medical" is not my field...
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Kind regards and thanks in advance
Nick
