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.

nanocurie

nCi

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 10-9 Curie (37 Bq or 37 disintegrations per second). Low-level activity scale commonly met in exempt consumer items and trace environmental testing.

Practical Applications

Americium-241 sources in residential ionization smoke detectors (typically ~0.9 µCi to nCi range), environmental water testing limits, and routine occupational bioassays.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to nanocurie [nCi]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 27027.02703 nanocurie [nCi]
• Step: 1 × 27027.02703 = 27027.02703 nanocurie [nCi]
