Hello Uwe,

You have some interesting topics related to your issue on the mailing
list archives.

- To generate a Co-60 isotropic source, you have to set WHAT(3)> 2 pi
rad, SDUM from BEAM card to ISOTOPE and then describe A and Z from Co-60
in a HI-PROPE card (look at the manual, BEAM section)
- To activate radioactive decay in semi-analogue mode you have to set a
RADDECAY card (look at the manual, RADDECAY section)
- The adequate detector to your problem seems indeed to be a USRBIN card

Hope it helps somehow.
Regards.
Sébastien.
