The Fallout library provides simple methods for calculating decay times, remaining mass, and radiation dose (siverts) for a set of predefined radioactive chemicals.

Fallout Library

The Fallout library provides simple methods for calculating decay times, remaining mass, and radiation dose (siverts) for a set of predefined radioactive chemicals.

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install fallout

Usage

from fallout import Fallout

# Create an instance
fallout = Fallout()

# List available chemicals
chemicals = fallout.get_radioactive_chemicals()
print(chemicals)

# Calculate remaining grams after a number of half-lives
remaining = fallout.calculate_remaining_gram(gram=10, number_of_halflifes=2)
print(remaining)

# Determine risk based on amount of radioactive material
risk, siverts = fallout.calculate_risk("Uranium-235", 5)
print(risk, siverts)

Methods Overview

• get_radioactive_chemicals(): Returns the dictionary of radioisotopes and their properties.
• calculate_decay_time(type, number_of_halflifes): Returns the realistic decay time based on half-lives and isotope data.
• calculate_remaining_gram(gram, number_of_halflifes): Computes how much mass remains after a certain number of half-lives.
• calculate_siverts(type, gram): Calculates the radiation dose in siverts based on mass.
• calculate_risk(type, gram): Gives a risk assessment and dose in siverts.

Example CLI Usage

If you run the fallout.py file directly:

python fallout.py

It will prompt for chemical type, amount in grams, and number of half-lives to compute safety and decay information.
