None of our radiation software products including MicroShield®, MicroShield® V&V, RadDecay®, or MicroSkyshine® have the Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) zero-day vulnerability in Log4j.
No mitigation is required for any of our users.
Grove Software is proud to announce that it has recently released two different versions of the MicroShield® software: MicroShield® Pro and MicroShield® LT. Both versions of MicroShield® included the world-renowned photon/gamma ray shielding and dose assessment program that is widely used around the world. MicroShield® Pro and MicroShield® LT are useful to health physicists, engineers, scientists and technicians and only requires a basic knowledge of radiation and shielding principles.

MicroShield® is fully interactive and utilizes extensive input error checking. MicroShield® Pro provides the full features of the MicroShield® software along with the various source, decay, and other dose assessment tools. MicroShield® LT provides the fundamental 3D solution algorithm along with the basic features. MicroShield® Pro integrated tools provide graphing of results, material and source file creation, source inference with decay (dose-to-Ci calculations accounting for decay and daughter buildup), projection of dose rates versus time as a result of decay, access to material and nuclear data, and decay heat calculations. |
