What Is This Tool?
This tool converts radioactive activity measurements from rutherford, an outdated unit, to kilocurie [kCi], a unit used for very large source activities. It helps interpret historical radioactivity data within modern contexts like nuclear engineering and radiological safety.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in rutherford units that you want to convert
- Select the desired output unit, kilocurie [kCi]
- Click the convert button to obtain the converted value
- Review the results for use in your activity analysis or reporting
Key Features
- Converts radiation activity values from rutherford to kilocurie [kCi]
- Supports interpretation of historical and modern radioactive activity measurements
- Easy-to-use interface for quick unit conversions
- Useful for nuclear research, industry, and regulatory applications
Examples
- 1 Rutherford equals 2.70 × 10^-8 kilocurie [kCi]
- 1,000,000 Rutherford equals 0.0270 kilocurie [kCi]
Common Use Cases
- Reporting early 20th-century nuclear experiment activity from historical sources
- Converting and interpreting older radiochemistry or health-physics activity values
- Specifying activity for large gamma sources in industrial irradiators and sterilization
- Shielding design and emergency planning involving high-activity radioactive sources
- Regulatory reporting and inventory management for research reactors and isotope production
Tips & Best Practices
- Understand the historical context of rutherford as an obsolete unit before conversion
- Use the tool to compare historical data with modern large-scale activity units
- Double-check unit contexts to ensure accurate interpretation of converted values
- Consider the extremely small fractions of kilocurie resulting from conversions
Limitations
- Rutherford is an obsolete unit mainly found in older scientific literature
- Kilocurie values represent very large activities, so conversions from Rutherford produce very small numbers
- Careful attention to precision and unit context is necessary when using converted results
Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology
- Rutherford
- An obsolete unit of radioactive activity equal to one million disintegrations per second, formerly used in early nuclear science.
- Kilocurie [kCi]
- A unit of radioactive activity equal to 1,000 curies, representing extremely large source activities commonly used in industry and regulation.
- Radioactive Activity
- The rate at which radioactive nuclei undergo decay, typically measured in disintegrations per second.
