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.
Rutherford
One rutherford is defined as one million disintegrations per second (1 MBq).
History: Named after Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics. Proposed in 1946.
Current use: Obsolete, replaced by the megabecquerel (MBq).
Also written as Rd, rutherfords.
