3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION - C-Shielder calculates shielding from any photon emitting radionuclide between 0.5 to 10 MeV by different types of concretes (Ordinary, Barytes, Magnetite, Ferrophosphorus).


4. METHODS - C-Shielder assumes the radionuclide(s) as a point source and uses Taylor's build up formula to calculate shielding.


5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM -
- C-Shielder works in the photon energy range of 0.5 to 10 MeV.
- Suitable for radionuclides/sources of small dimensions.   


6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - The running time of the C-Shielder program is 15 to 30 seconds, depending upon the speed of computer, type of concrete and attenuation required.
