Convert Rutherfords to Terabecquerels
Convert Rutherfords (Rd) to Terabecquerels (TBq) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
TBq = Rd × 1.000000000e-6
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 Superseded by the MBq in SI but still encountered in older nuclear physics and reactor engineering literature. 1 Rd = 10⁶ Bq.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 Terabecquerels
The terabecquerel (TBq) equals 10¹² Bq. Medical cyclotron ¹⁸F production batches yield 0.1-1 TBq; ⁹⁹Mo/⁹⁹mTc generator lots for hospital nuclear medicine departments are shipped as multi-TBq consignments; ¹⁹²Ir industrial radiography sources are rated up to 5 TBq. 1 TBq = 10¹² Bq.
