Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) As used in 32 Ill. Adm. Code: Chapter II,
			 Subchapters b and d, the unit of exposure is the coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) or
			 roentgen (R). One roentgen (R) is equal to 2.58 x
			 10-4 C/kg.
b) As used in 32 Ill. Adm. Code: Chapter II,
			 Subchapters b and d, the units of radiation dose are:
1) "Gray" (Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed
			 dose. One Gy is equal to an absorbed dose of 1 joule per kilogram (J/kg). (1 Gy
			 = 100 rad).
2) "Rad" is the special
			 unit of absorbed dose. One rad is equal to an absorbed dose of 100 ergs per
			 gram or 0.01 joule per kilogram (J/kg). (1 rad = 0.01 Gy).
3) "Rem" is the special unit of any of the
			 quantities expressed as dose equivalent. The dose equivalent in rem is equal to
			 the absorbed dose in rad multiplied by the quality factor (1 rem = 0.01
			 Sv).
4) "Sievert" (Sv) is the SI
			 unit of any of the quantities expressed as dose equivalent. The dose equivalent
			 in sievert is equal to the absorbed dose in gray multiplied by the quality
			 factor (1 Sv = 100 rem).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 310 - GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR RADIATION PROTECTION › Section 310.150 - Units of Activity

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024

				special unit of curie (Ci), or their multiples, or disintegrations
				(transformations) per unit of time (dps, dpm, tps or tpm).
a) One becquerel (Bq) = 1 disintegration
			 (transformation) per second (dps or tps).
b) One curie (Ci) = 3.7 x
			 1010 disintegrations (transformations) per second
			 (dps or tps) = 3.7 x 1010 becquerel (Bq) = 2.22 x
			 1012 disintegrations (transformations) per minute
			 (dpm or tpm).
