Abstract

A computer program in PHP was developed to become easier the disposal calculus for radioactive material of low and medium radiation levels according to CNEN-801 (Low and medium radiation level waste management). The user selects some inputs as: the radionuclide name, its physical state, activity and obtains among others outputs:  the number of days for disposal and disposal date. There is an option for calculation without considering the radionuclide where the parameters are only the half-life, initial and disposal activity. It can be accessed by the Internet or downloaded from a repository to be installed on the users computer or server. The program language can be chosen between Portuguese and English.
