Calculation of Time Taken For Radioactive Material to Decay to a Selected Activity
Instructions for use:
1. Enter initial activity
2. Select appropriate units from the drop-down list
3. Enter the final (target) activity
4. Select appropriate units from the drop-down list
5. Either a) select an isotope from the drop-down list
(in which case the half-life, in days, will fill automatically)
or b) enter the half-life of your isotope and select appropriate units
6. Click 'Calculate'
