Becquerel
One becquerel is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.
History: Named after Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.
Current use: The standard international unit for radioactivity in medicine, science, and industry.
Also written as Bq, becquerels.
Microcurie
One microcurie is equal to one millionth of a curie (1.0E-6 curies), or 37,000 becquerels.
History: Standard metric prefix applied to the curie.
Current use: Used for measuring small amounts of radioactive tracers and lab samples.
Also written as µCi, uCi, microcuries.
