Radioactivity is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. It is measured in becquerels (Bq).
1 mrem = 0.001 α
1 α = 1,000 mrem
Example:
Convert 15 Millirem to Alpha Particles:
15 mrem = 0.015 α

| 0.01 mrem | 1.0000e-5 α |
| 0.1 mrem | 0 α |
| 1 mrem | 0.001 α |
| 2 mrem | 0.002 α |
