What does 1 joule/kilogram/second represent in radiation units?

It quantifies the absorbed dose rate of ionizing radiation energy per unit mass and is equivalent to 1 gray per second (Gy/s).

Why use attogray/second for measuring radiation?

Attogray/second is used to express extremely low absorbed dose rates suitable for sensitive environmental and research radiation measurements.

Can this tool be used for radiotherapy dose control?

Yes, it supports conversions useful for specifying and controlling radiotherapy equipment dose rates.
