What Is This Tool?

This tool enables the conversion between millibecquerel, a unit expressing very low radioactivity, and disintegrations per second, the SI unit representing nuclear decay rate. It helps users translate trace radioactivity measurements into a standardized format.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in millibecquerel [mBq] that you want to convert
  • Select millibecquerel [mBq] as the source unit
  • Choose disintegrations/second as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the result in disintegrations per second

Key Features

  • Converts low-level radioactivity units to the SI standard activity unit
  • Supports converting millibecquerel (mBq) to disintegrations/second
  • Useful for environmental monitoring, radiochemistry, and nuclear medicine
  • Provides clear numerical examples to guide users
  • Accessible browser-based interface for quick calculations

Examples

  • Convert 5 mBq which equals 0.005 disintegrations/second
  • Convert 200 mBq resulting in 0.20 disintegrations/second

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting very low environmental radioactivity in air, water, or soil during background monitoring
  • Quantifying trace contamination on laboratory surfaces, equipment, or foodstuffs
  • Characterizing detector background or residual tracer activity in radiochemistry and radioanalytical measurements
  • Specifying the activity of radioactive sources or samples for laboratory or waste assessment
  • Measuring administered activity of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine
  • Calibrating radiation detectors and instruments

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion when working with activity levels much smaller than one becquerel
  • Ensure stable decay rates before applying the conversion for accuracy
  • Apply the tool for consistent reporting across different radiation activity measurements
  • Consider measurement uncertainties at extremely low activity values due to detection limits

Limitations

  • Measurement uncertainties may increase significantly at very low activity levels because of detector sensitivity
  • Conversion assumes steady nuclear decay rates and may not be valid if the sample's activity changes rapidly

Frequently Asked Questions
