Rad Pro Calculator: Radiation Protection Freeware Downloads

Note to Upgraders: You must uninstall any previous version first, before upgrading!

Because Microsoft did not support the above listed operating systems with the .NET Framework 2.0, this is the last Rad Pro Calculator version that worked with pre-Windows 98 operating systems. It is not nearly as sophisticated as the current version but it was and still is a useful tool, and if you operate under legacy Windows systems, this is your only Rad Pro Calculator choice. It has conversions, decay, U-Pu grams, inverse square law and gamma dose-rate. The gamma dose-rate calculator has a limited list of isotopes, no shielding calculations and uses the rule-of-thumb Ci=6CEN formula rather than the sophisticated fluence-rate formulas used by versions 2.xx. It does however do multiple energy 6CEN and it gets you in the ballpark for most medium energy isotopes. If you read the version history file, any upgrades beyond 1.95, this version does not have. It requires the .NET Framework 1.1. If you do not have it, a link to Microsoft is provided below the download button.

This version without skins works with all 64 bit Windows systems. It is not as pretty as the 32 bit version, but it has the same functionality. Download this file if the 32 bit version fails on your 64 bit machine. Only a 3 MB download because 64 bit O/S already has all of the prerequisites If you are upgrading from a previous version of Rad Pro Calculator 2.xx or greater, or if you know that you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and the C++ 8.0 runtime package, this 13MB download is the file to download. Click the button below. If you install this file and when you try to run Rad Pro Calculator it tells you that you do need the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, click on the .NET button below. If you are not sure if you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, download this file. It includes the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 in the install package, if needed. It is a 30 MB download, but it is an easy and bulletproof install. Click on the below button.
