What does joule per kilogram per second measure in radiation?

It quantifies the absorbed dose rate, representing how much ionizing radiation energy is absorbed per kilogram of matter each second.

Why convert to nanogray per second?

Nanogray per second offers a smaller scale unit useful for sensitive environmental radiation monitoring and low-level dose rate assessments.

Is the conversion dependent on the radiation type?

No, the conversion relates to absorbed dose rate regardless of the radiation type, as 1 J·kg⁻¹ equals 1 gray.
