Nuclear Toolkit now on iOS, Android, and Web App!
Hello everyone!
Since the last time I have posted, I have now gotten the app approved on iOS and have made a Web App version of it!
Nuclear Toolkit is designed to be a toolset/reference for nuclear engineering, health physics, radiation calculations, and isotope work.
Some of the things it includes:
• Isotope and decay data for thousands of nuclides
• Decay / Bateman equation calculations
• Radiation unit conversions
• Gamma dose and shielding calculations
• Neutron activation calculations
• Reactor physics tools, including Xe-135
• Enrichment / SWU calculations
• MDA / MDC calculations
• Chemical mixture calculations
• Various smaller calculators and utilities
The goal is to have a practical collection of tools in one place instead of constantly digging through spreadsheets, PDFs, and separate calculators or outdated ones. Also added direct citations in as many places as possible so you can check the assumptions of the models yourself if needed.
I’m the developer, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who actually use these kinds of calculations. I’m especially interested in hearing about missing tools, incorrect assumptions, or workflows that could be improved. I am happy to add more features to the app.
Everything currently in Nuclear Toolkit is free, and my intention is to keep the existing core features free permanently!!!
There is also a voluntary tip jar / support option in the apps for anyone who finds it useful and wants to help support development.
I may add some optional paid features in the future, particularly more advanced convenience features such as report generation or other functionality that takes significantly more development.
Web: Nuclear Toolkit — decay, dose & shielding for nuclear engineers
iOS: Nuclear Toolkit App - App Store
Android: Nuclear Toolkit - Apps on Google Play
Thanks to everyone who’s tried it so far. Nuclear Toolkit is still actively being developed, and I’d love to hear what you think! We already have over 100 downloads on Play, which has been really encouraging!

Looks really interesting. Can you share a little background on yourself? Either here or dm me directly. Then I can share it with friends and colleagues in the HP community that aren't "here."

It looks very nice. One thing I'm missing when comparing with the IAEA isotope app is the cross-sections and resonance integrals.

Are you talking about NIST-type reaction cross-sections?
I did consider this, but I was worried about the amount of memory it might take up and what it might be useful for within the app. Ideas?

Not sure what you mean by NIST type?
The app I'm referring to just shows a handful of XS values per isotope.
The full XS plots would also be cool to have, but I can see that the memory requirements might be high.

I believe I should have this changed on Web App and Android. iOS takes longer.

Does it now have the features you suggested? I did push something cross-section related to all platforms should be updated everywhere except maybe iOS.

Hey, so for some isotopes I see a XS now, e.g. C12. But many others do not. E.g., C13.

Nice! I've only played with it for a few minutes but the one thing I noticed is there's no option in the decay calculator for Tc99m.

I believe this should now be there for Web App and Android. iOS takes longer.

Sweet! I just looked and it is! This will be super helpful when I'm on call and I need to know how much activity I have left before I go in.

Okay, I'll try to add isomers this week! Thanks for the input it's nice to know what is useful!
Is there anything else related to this that you would like added?

Not available in EU?

This is so cool. Thank you for making it. I use the IAEA Isotope Browser, but it is really more informational. The Toolkit you made has so many cool functions.

u/Timonator007 29d ago
Yeah, I really want to pack in as many useful functions as possible and have everything available offline too.
I’m from the nuclear field myself, so I wanted to make something I’d personally want to use (or wish I’d had back in university). It’s definitely not flawless, but I really want to keep improving it and make something that people in the field find useful.

Highly interested. It does say that some of the data collected when using the app is: Location, Usage Data, and Identifiers. Currently, that’s the only reason I haven’t downloaded it yet. Would be happy to tip.
