radiological material clearance finder

Clearance indexes for a nuclide inventory, against the UK, German, US, EU and IAEA limit sets. Give it a dictionary of isotopes and atom numbers and it tells you whether the material can be cleared, by which route, and what is driving the answer.

No runtime dependencies. OpenMC is not required.
