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.

Nuclear
Nuclear Emergency Response Calculator
Estimates the required emergency planning zone radius during a nuclear incident based on release amount, wind speed, atmospheric stability, evacuation time, and population density. Use it for emergency preparedness drills and regulatory zone planning.
