Particles
Radioisotopes
Radioactive sources can also be specified in Shielding Studio. In this case it is typical to se the particle kinetic energy to zero (0), as source isotypes are usually modeled as being at rest. Shielding Studio applies kinetic energy to decay products and secondary radiation as required. To use a radioactive source in your simulation, choose the source type as Ion from the drop-down menu. Next, search for your element of interest, and set a mass number for a radioactive isotope. If the isotope you choose is not radioactive, no dose will be recorded in the simulation from this source.
