becquerel SI |
Bq J*kg^(-1) m^(2)*s^(-2) |
Bq J*kg^(-1) m^(2)*s^(-2) |
Code activity in either Bq or Ci unless you specifically need J/kg. Avoid coding activity in base units. |

gray SI |
Gy J*kg^(-1) m^(2)*s^(-2) |
Gy J*kg^(-1) m^(2)*s^(-2) |
Code absorbed dose in Gy unless you specifically need J/kg. Avoid coding absorbed dose in base units. |
