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.
About Becquerels
The becquerel (Bq) is the SI coherent unit of radioactivity, defined as exactly one nuclear disintegration per second. Named after Henri Becquerel (discoverer of radioactivity, 1896), it replaced the curie in SI. Household smoke detector ²⁴¹Am sources contain ~30 kBq; a banana contains ~15 Bq of ⁴⁰K. 1 Bq = 1 s⁻¹.
