WHAT DOES MILLICURIE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Curie

The curie is a non-SI unit of radioactivity, named after Marie and Pierre Curie. It is defined as 1 Ci = 3.7 × 1010 decays per second. While its continued use is discouraged by NIST and other bodies, the curie is widely used throughout the US government and industry. One curie is roughly the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, a substance studied by the Curies. The SI derived unit of radioactivity is the becquerel, which equates to one decay per second. Therefore: 1 Ci = 3.7 × 1010 Bq = 37 GBq = 37.000.000.000 atoms decaying per second and 1 Bq ≅ 2.703 × 10−11 Ci Another commonly used measure of radioactivity is the microcurie: 1 μCi = 3.7 × 104 disintegrations per second = 2.22 × 106 disintegrations per minute A radiotherapy machine may have roughly 1000 Ci of a radioisotope such as caesium-137 or cobalt-60. This quantity of radioactivity can produce serious health effects with only a few minutes of close-range, unshielded exposure. Ingesting even a millicurie is usually fatal. For example, the LD-50 for ingested polonium-210 is 240 μCi. The typical human body contains roughly 0.
