This package contains data from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 107, Nuclear Decay Data for Dosimetric Calculations. The data sets were converted from the original to a tidy data set. The files include:
-
ICRP-07.NDX The index file has 32 variables, including 31 original variables from ICRP. The 32nd variable is a derived decay_constant variable in inverse seconds, to allow activity computation without unit conversion issues.
-
ICRP-07.RAD Data on the energy and yield of each radiation emitted in nuclear transformations of the radionuclide.
-
rad_codes A small table providing descriptions of the codes used in ICRP-07.RAD.
-
ICRP-07.BET Beta decay spectra for beta emitters.
You can install the released version of RadData from CRAN (after it has been released) with:
install.packages("RadData")The development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("markhogue/RadData")To start using the installed package:
library(RadData)Functions for selecting and filtering data for health physics computations will be included in the package radsafer.
