Nuclear
Neutron Activation Analysis Calculator
Calculate the induced radioactivity (activation) of a target material irradiated by a neutron flux, accounting for saturation effects. Used in neutron activation analysis (NAA) to determine trace element concentrations in samples.

Nuclear
Nuclear Radiation Shielding Calculator
Calculates the required shielding thickness to reduce gamma radiation from a radioactive source to a safe dose rate at a given working distance. Use it when designing barriers around radiation sources in medical, industrial, or nuclear facilities.
