Utilization of a Computer Using Programless Language for Radiation Protection Management

Abstract

Utilization of the computer for radiation control is planned and performed in many radioisotope laboratories. But each laboratory has their own situation which makes the planning difficult with respect to the hardware and particularly to the software.
What is the most important is that the practice of radiation management is different for each laboratory both in point of view and in the form of recording. Therefore, the computer program for the radiation management, especially for the management of radioisotopes is required to meet many amendments.
In this standpoint, we have developed a “programless language” or “programless software” and have used in our work for several years.
As the result of our experience, we have found that the programless language is quite satisfactory for the management of radioisotopes and that it has an advantage in some aspects over conventional programs.
It is thought that this “programless language” is effective not only for our own works, but also applicable to other radioisotope laboratories.
