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.

becquerel

Bq

Contextual Explanation

The standard SI derived unit of radioactivity. Defined as exactly one nuclear disintegration or decay event per second.

Practical Applications

Baseline radioisotope sample measurements, international environmental radiological survey reporting, and standard nuclear physics laboratory research.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to becquerel [Bq]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 1000000 becquerel [Bq]
• Step: 1 × 1000000 = 1000000 becquerel [Bq]
