I believe that "isoshield" is public domain, although I've never tried it.  It 
can calculate a dose rate at a given distance where the user specifies the 
source term, geometry, and shielding.  You then take the inverse of the 
result, i.e., calculate mCi/(mR/h) from (mR/h)/mCi, and assume that the 
isotopic proportions are the same. 
 
I would recommend spending some $ on Microshield, or a similar commercial 
product.  They're much easier to use.  Make sure that validation documentation 
is available.

I have another question for anyone who can help me.  Is there any public domain software out
there that can be used to determine activity content of drums, etc. by entering the dose
rate and isotope, etc...??? If so where can it be found??

Thanks in advance,
Dan
