rutherford

Unit Definitions:

rutherford

Rd

Contextual Explanation

A non-SI legacy unit of radioactive decay rate defined as exactly 1,000,000 disintegrations per second (1 MBq). Introduced in 1946 to replace the Curie with a decimal-based system.

Practical Applications

Historical nuclear physics literature (1940s–1950s) and early radiometric dating calculations prior to the universal adoption of the Becquerel system.

terabecquerel

TBq

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 1012 Becquerels (1 trillion disintegrations per second). Represents massive radioactivity levels characteristic of high-output commercial radiation sources.

Practical Applications

Industrial gamma radiography (e.g., Iridium-192 pipeline inspection sources), commercial medical device sterilization irradiators, and teletherapy machines.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to terabecquerel [TBq]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 0.000001 terabecquerel [TBq]
• Step: 1 × 0.000001 = 0.000001 terabecquerel [TBq]
