Both calculators run independently β change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Nuclear
Nuclear Power Plant Economics Calculator
Computes the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for a nuclear power plant by combining capital investment, discounted O&M costs, plant capacity, capacity factor, and operational lifetime. Use it to compare nuclear economics against other generation technologies.

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.
