disintegrations/second

Unit Definitions:

disintegrations / second

dps

Contextual Explanation

Direct physical counting unit describing the explicit number of atomic nuclear disintegrations (decays) taking place per second within a sample.

Practical Applications

Absolute radioactivity calculations, detector counting efficiency calibration formulas, and primary fundamental standardization of radioactive test sources.

disintegrations / minute

dpm

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.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 disintegrations/second [dps] to disintegrations/minute [dpm]:
• Conversion factor: 1 disintegrations/second [dps] = 60 disintegrations/minute [dpm]
• Step: 1 × 60 = 60 disintegrations/minute [dpm]
