Chain members can have non-zero initial populations and be produced from the preceding chain member as the result of radioactive decay, a nuclear reaction, or both. Parent-daughter equilibrium times and relative activities at equilibrium can also be calculated. Chain members can have non-zero initial populations and be produced from the preceding chain member as the result of radioactive decay, a nuclear reaction, or both. The calculation method involves solving a generalized form of the Bateman equations. Results must be saved in a file in order to obtain hard-copy output.
Results are essentially instantaneous.
The included executable is for use on personal computers running DOS v2.1 or higher. The code may be recompiled on any computer which has an ANSI C capable compiler. An ANSI C compiler is required. The diskette, written in DOS format, contains source files, sample data and, their related output files, and a PC executable.
