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.

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.
