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.
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.
