Radi: Radioactive Decay and Inventory

Radi is a library for the fast and accurate calculation of radioactive decay processes. Its primary purpose is the determination of the temporal evolution of radionuclide inventories in final repositories for radioactive waste, but it is applicable to other purposes involving different time scales or nuclide compositions as well. Radi can either be used as a C++ library, e.g., in nuclide transport simulations, or as a Python package.
