Radioactivity is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. It is measured in becquerels (Bq).
1 n/cm²/s = 1 α
1 α = 1 n/cm²/s
Example:
Convert 15 Neutron Flux to Alpha Particles:
15 n/cm²/s = 15 α
| Neutron Flux | Alpha Particles |
|---|---|
| 0.01 n/cm²/s | 0.01 α |
| 0.1 n/cm²/s | 0.1 α |
| 1 n/cm²/s | 1 α |
| 2 n/cm²/s | 2 α |
| 3 n/cm²/s | 3 α |
| 5 n/cm²/s | 5 α |
| 10 n/cm²/s | 10 α |
| 20 n/cm²/s | 20 α |
| 30 n/cm²/s | 30 α |
| 40 n/cm²/s | 40 α |
| 50 n/cm²/s | 50 α |
| 60 n/cm²/s | 60 α |
| 70 n/cm²/s | 70 α |
| 80 n/cm²/s | 80 α |
| 90 n/cm²/s | 90 α |
| 100 n/cm²/s | 100 α |
| 250 n/cm²/s | 250 α |
| 500 n/cm²/s | 500 α |
| 750 n/cm²/s | 750 α |
| 1000 n/cm²/s | 1,000 α |
| 10000 n/cm²/s | 10,000 α |
| 100000 n/cm²/s | 100,000 α |
