Unit Definitions:

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 1,000 Becquerels (1,000 disintegrations per second). A moderate radioactivity scale used for small sealed reference sources and trace contamination limits.

Practical Applications

Americium-241 sources in consumer smoke detectors, environmental soil/water sample testing, and radiotracer experiments in molecular biology.

Contextual Explanation

Direct physical unit measuring the count of atomic nuclear disintegrations per minute. An essential and ubiquitous unit in operational health physics.

Practical Applications

Surface contamination wipe tests (smears), liquid scintillation counter (LSC) raw data conversions, workplace radiological safety release limits, and decontamination surveys.
