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.

microcurie

µCi

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 10-6 Curie (37,000 Bq). The standard laboratory quantity for academic and medical scientific research tracing.

Practical Applications

In vitro radioimmunoassay (RIA) medical kits, molecular biology DNA radiolabeling (e.g., P-32), and standard calibration check sources for Geiger counters.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to microcurie [µCi]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 27.02702703 microcurie [µCi]
• Step: 1 × 27.02702703 = 27.02702703 microcurie [µCi]
