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.

kilocurie

kCi

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 1,000 Curies (3.7 × 1014 Bq). Represents massive radiological source activity associated with intense, lethal radiation fields.

Practical Applications

Commercial high-capacity Cobalt-60 sterilization facilities, nuclear reactor spent fuel assembly ratings, and historical defense nuclear material tracking.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to kilocurie [kCi]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 2.702702703E-8 kilocurie [kCi]
• Step: 1 × 2.702702703E-8 = 2.702702703E-8 kilocurie [kCi]
