“…The use of CRM is useful for the validation of analytical methods. However, radioactive CRMs are few in number, out of stock or close to it, and do not meet the specific needs of decommissioning, in terms of matrix and radioactive composition [3], [4], [5], [6]. Decommissioning requirements include the simultaneous measurement of several radionuclides and even their isotopic ratios.…”

“…For these reasons, many liquid or agar-certified reference materials (CRMs) or RMs have been developed. Matrix CRMs or RMs, however, due to manufacturing difficulties, are generally not produced; or, if they are produced, selection of target radionuclides and amounts of sample are limited [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Radionuclide identification is a radioanalytical method employed in various scientific disciplines that utilize alpha-particle or gamma-ray spectrometric assays, ranging from astrophysics to nuclear medicine. Radionuclide libraries in conventional radionuclide identification systems are crafted in a manual fashion, accompanying labor-intensive and error-prone user tasks and hindering library customization. This research presents a computational algorithm and the architecture of its dedicated software that can automatically generate tailored radionuclide libraries. Progenitor-progeny recurrence relations were modeled to enable recursive computation of radionuclide subsets. This theoretical concept was incorporated into open-source software called and validated against four actinide decay series and 12 radioactive substances, including a uranium-glazed legacy Fiestaware, natural uranium and thorium sources, a Ra226 sample, and the medical radionuclides Ac225, Lu177, and Tc99m. The developed algorithm yielded radionuclide libraries for all the tested specimens within minutes, demonstrating its efficiency and applicability across diverse scenarios. The proposed approach introduces a framework for computerized radionuclide library generation, thereby trivializing library-driven radionuclide identification and facilitating the spectral recognition of unregistered radionuclides in radiation spectrometry.
