We developed a new computer code which is able to treat the time dependent photo- and collisional ionization of gaseous nebulae together with the consistent energy balance for arbitrary numbers of elements, ions and line transitions. The intention of this paper is to describe the basic numerical methods and a few test calculations as being parts of full spherically symmetric radiation-gasdynamic computations in the limit of a non-moving gas (v(r)=0). Exemplarily we discuss the evolution of ionization fronts around a suddenly switched-on/switched-off central star with T_eff_=50000K and L_*_=6000Lsun_. Evidence is presented that the photon velocities must artificially be limited in time dependent astrophysical calculations when the equation of radiative transfer is not explicitely treated in a time dependent way. Furthermore, computations with different spatial resolutions demonstrate that a careful choice of the grid resolution in ionization calculations is essential for the interpretation of observed line intensities.
