Convert Rutherfords to Nanobecquerels
Convert Rutherfords (Rd) to Nanobecquerels (nBq) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nBq = Rd × 1000000000000000
About Rutherfords
The rutherford (Rd) equals exactly 10⁶ Bq = 1 MBq. Proposed by Ernest Rutherford and adopted at the 1946 Montreal Conference on Radioactivity as a convenient unit for large sources. Superseded by the MBq in SI but still encountered in older nuclear physics and reactor engineering literature. 1 Rd = 10⁶ Bq.
About Nanobecquerels
The nanobecquerel (nBq) equals 10⁻⁹ Bq. Atmospheric surveillance for tritium and ¹⁴C near nuclear facilities reports discharge rates in nBq/m³; EU drinking water directives set indicator activity concentrations for some radionuclides at the nBq/L level. 1 nBq = 10⁻⁹ Bq = 10⁻³ µBq.
