Radiation Units 解説

Radiation is measured in several ways: source activity, absorbed energy, and biological effect. Different units serve different purposes in radiation protection.

Unit Comparison

Conversions: 1 Gy = 100 rad; 1 Sv = 100 rem

まとめ

Becquerels measure source activity; Grays measure energy deposited; Sieverts account for biological effect. For radiation protection, the Sievert is most relevant as it reflects actual health risk from different radiation types.
