The SI unit of radioactivity is becquerel (Bq) and this term has been kept after Henri Becquerel. It is defined as:

The activity of a quantity of radioactive material where one decay takes place per second

1 becquerel = 1 radioactive decay per second = 2.703×10-11

An older radioactivity unit is the curie (Ci) and the name has been taken from Pierre and Marie Curie.

  • It is defined as that quantity of any radioactive substance which gives 3.7 X 1010s-1 disintegration (dps).
  • Sometimes millicurie (mc) and microcurie (mc) are also used.
