Radiation converters translate between different dose units (gray, sievert, rad, rem) and activity units (becquerel, curie).

Formel

1 gray (Gy) = 1 joule/kg absorbed dose
Gy
1 joule/kg absorbed dose — 1 joule/kg absorbed dose

Steg-för-steg-guide

  1. 11 gray (Gy) = 1 joule/kg absorbed dose
  2. 21 sievert (Sv) = gray × quality factor (accounts for radiation type)
  3. 31 becquerel (Bq) = 1 decay/second; 1 curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq

Lösta exempel

Ingång
100 millirem (mrem) exposure
Resultat
1 millisievert (mSv) equivalent, annual background ~2-3 mSv
Safety threshold context

Vanliga misstag att undvika

  • Confusing absorbed dose with effective dose (biological impact)
  • Neglecting duration in dose calculation

Vanliga frågor

Why are there different dose units?

Absorbed dose (Gy) measures energy; equivalent dose (Sv) accounts for biological harm of different radiation types.

What are safe radiation levels?

Annual background ~3 mSv safe; occupational limits 20-50 mSv/year. Acute >1000 mSv causes acute radiation sickness.
