Sievert per second
A dose rate that results in one sievert of biological effect per second.
History: Named after Rolf Sievert. While the gray measures physical absorption, the sievert accounts for biological impact.
Current use: Used in radiation protection to describe the rate of biological risk accumulation.
Also written as Sv/s.
Rad per second
One rad per second is equal to 0.01 gray per second.
History: The legacy CGS-based dose rate unit.
Current use: Still used in some US-based radiation safety and medical physics contexts.
Also written as rad/s.
