Rad Pro Calculator Recommends These Links
This calculator was first developed for students to demonstrate the inverse square law principal from radiation physics. As it turns out, it does get quite a bit of use in the field. The ALARA calculator on this site is more comprehensive, but sometimes this calculator is all that is required for a simple distance to dose-rate relationship demonstration.
