Improvements were made to the radiological code that resulted in 20X speed improvements for the decay and ingrowth calculations.

21723: Modify Truncation Rules and Equilibrium Rules of Daughters

The truncation rules and equilibrium rules for daughters have been modified.

The software will truncate a decay chain after it encounters a progeny radionuclide with a half-life greater than 5,000 years.

Populate progeny radionuclide activity at secular equilibrium activity if:
1. Progeny radionuclide’s half-life < ultimate parent’s half-life AND
2. Progeny radionuclide’s half-life < 1.5 years

See Sandia Report, SAND2017-8519, for more details.

22050: Turning ON truncation zeros aged (grown-in) activity values

If you truncate the mixture's daughters after aging the mixture, the aged values are maintained instead of getting reset.

Improved the code that returns all unique decay chain paths. This update resulted in significant speed improvement in decay and ingrowth calculations.

22015: Replace the use of a static variable in the ultimate parent radionuclide code

Improved the code that identifies the ultimate parent of a radionuclide decay chain. This update resulted in significant speed improvement in decay and ingrowth calculations.
