- Radiation Terms and Units | US EPA
The different forms of ionizing radiation have different potentials to damage human tissue Learn more about different types of ionizing radiation here A material's radioactivity is measured in becquerels (Bq, international unit) and curies (Ci, U S unit) Because a curie is a large unit, radioactivity results are usually shown in picocuries

* SI Units: International System of Units Note: In the table above the common units and SI units in each row are not equivalent in value, i e , 1 curie does not equal 1 becquerel, but they both measure the same parameter See Conversion Equivalence top of page
- Measuring Radiation: Terminology and Units - Institute for Energy and . . .
Ionizing radiation can be measured using units of electron volts, ergs, and joules The electron-volt (abbreviated eV) is a unit of energy associated with moving electrons around An electron is “tightly bound” in a hydrogen atom (one proton and one electron) It takes energy to move this electron away from the proton

Absorbed dose is the amount of radiation absorbed by an object (or person) This is the amount of exposure that actually “sticks” in the material The units used to measure absorbed dose are the rad (radiation absorbed dose) and the gray (Gy) The rad is the CGS unit of absorbed dose and the gray is the SI unit 1 Gy = 100 rad = 100 Joules
- Measuring Radiation | NRC. gov
Measuring Radiation There are four different but interrelated units for measuring radioactivity, exposure, absorbed dose, and dose equivalent These can be remembered by the mnemonic R-E-A-D, as follows, with both common (British, e g , Ci) and international (metric, e g , Bq) units in use: Radioactivity refers to the amount of ionizing radiation released by a material
- Radiation Quantities and Units, Definitions, Acronyms
In the 1990 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP 1991), the use of N was dropped and the radiation weighting factor (WR) was substituted for Q In addition, Systeme International (SI) units have been adopted by ICRP (1977) The unit of dose is now the gray (Gy), and the unit of equivalent dose, effective dose, and associated quantities is the sievert
- Radiation Unit Converter
Different radiation units exist because radiation has varied effects depending on the type of radiation, the tissue exposed, and the context of measurement The International System (SI) uses sievert, gray, and becquerel, while the older system used in the US includes rem, rad, and curie
- Measuring Radiation | Radiation Emergencies | CDC - Centers for Disease . . .
For example, the amount of radiation being given off, or emitted, by a radioactive material is measured using the conventional unit curie (Ci), named for the famed scientist Marie Curie, or the SI unit becquerel (Bq) The radiation dose absorbed by a person (that is, the amount of energy deposited in human tissue by radiation) is measured using
