Convert Rutherford to Megabecquerel
Input the number of rutherfords you want to convert to megabecquerels.
How to Convert Rutherfords to Megabecquerels
The rutherford and megabecquerel are both units of radioactivity. By definition, 1 rutherford equals exactly 1 megabecquerels. This means to convert rutherfords to megabecquerels, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Rd to megabecquerels:
We need to convert rutherfords to megabecquerels
Since 1 Rd = 1 MBq, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 Rd = 5 MBq

About These Units
Rutherford (Rd)
The rutherford (Rd) equals exactly 10⁶ decays per second or 1 MBq. Named after Ernest Rutherford, father of nuclear physics. Proposed as an SI-compatible unit but the becquerel was adopted instead. One rutherford = 27 microcuries.
Megabecquerel (MBq)
A megabecquerel (MBq) equals 10⁶ becquerels or 27 microcuries. Standard for nuclear medicine doses: thyroid scan 20-200 MBq, bone scan 600-900 MBq, PET scan 200-600 MBq. Industrial sealed sources: 1-100 MBq typical.
