What does teragray per second measure?

It measures the rate at which radiation energy is absorbed per kilogram of material, expressed as grays per second multiplied by 10¹².

Why convert teragray/second to sievert/second?

To translate absorbed radiation energy rates into biologically weighted dose rates used for radiation protection and risk assessment.

Can this converter account for different radiation types?

No, it assumes a direct proportionality and does not adjust for radiation type weighting factors applied in dosimetry.
