Disintegrations per second
The number of atomic nuclei that decay in one second.
History: A descriptive name for the rate of radioactive decay.
Current use: Used in physics and chemistry to describe activity directly.
Also written as dps, disintegrations per second.
Curie
One curie is approximately the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, equal to 3.7E+10 becquerels.
History: Named after Pierre and Marie Curie. Originally defined in 1910.
Current use: Still commonly used in the United States and in some clinical settings alongside the becquerel.
Also written as Ci, curies.
