AECL Decay Calculator (1960s) |
| The Decay Calculator was
distributed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in the
mid to late 1960s - it carries the date 9-64. It is identical
to the Decay Rate
Calculator except that it is made of cardboard rather than
plastic.
To use, you line up the half-life of a source with the elapsed time, and the calculator tells you the remaining fraction of the source's original activity. The back of the calculator has a table of half-lives for various radionuclides and a conversion table for units of time. |
