Abstract
The article describes software package for calculating the dose rate of 137Cs, 238Pu, 239+240Pu, and 241Am isotopes for non-human biota. It consists of three applications: a mobile application for describing sites and samples, desktop application for maintaining a database of samples for radiochemical analysis and measuring the activity of radionuclides, and a web application for calculating dose rates and descriptive statistics. An artificial neural network has been developed and trained to classify alpha radiation spectra, demonstrating its potential for assessing the quality of radiochemical analysis in determining the content of plutonium and americium isotopes. The advantages of the developed software include compatibility with devices of popular platforms, ease of use, and the unification of tasks for calculating dose rates for non-human biota.
