It displays information about the half-life, the decay modes, the decay products, branching fractions, nuclear spin and parity, and the relative abundance of each isotope. It will also display all the breakdown products (daughter products) of any chosen isotope using recursion to show the decay series. Highlighters showing all the possible source isotopes or s-process isotopes for any selected nuclide are included.
The Decay Simulator displays a time-history of the decay of the parent and accumulation of daughter products as well as a readout of Total Energy and Power Output on a user-selectable time-scale.
Data on atomic mass, branching ratios, relative mass regarding beta decay, inverse beta decay, alpha decay and spontaneous fission is displayed graphically for any chosen isotope.
A full nuclear physics tutorial is included with animated displays of relevant topics. Topics covered include isotopes, isotones, isobars, mirror nuclei, magic numbers, halflife, secular equilibrium, radio-carbon and radio-metric dating, alpha decay, beta decay, double beta decay, inverse beta decay, double inverse beta decay, electron capture, neutrinos, stellar nucleosynthesis, supernovae, Neutron Stars, spontaneous fission, induced fission, moderators, tunnelling, fusion, cold fusion, binding energy, electrons, photons, virtual particles, neutrons, protons, baryons, fermions, quarks, Universal matter excess, strange matter, Halo nuclei, Borromean Nuclei, neutron capture, s- and r-processes, isomeric transitions, nuclear spin, anti-matter, radiation, Oklo allobar, nuclear fallout, cosmogenic nuclides, Chernoble, statistics, and Rogers' Twisted Tri-Prism Ring Sub-Atomic Particle Theory.
The tutorial has simple animations to help the readers understanding of the subject.
!Nuclides has been highly praised by some members employed in the nuclear division of the Department of Trade for Industry.
