- Sievert - Wikipedia
The sievert (symbol: Sv[note 1]) is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI) intended to represent the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, which is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage
- Sievert (Sv) | Britannica
Accordingly, one sievert is generally defined as the amount of radiation roughly equivalent in biological effectiveness to one gray (or 100 rads) of gamma radiation
- Sievert and millisievert: Radiation dose units - Nuclear energy
In this article, we will explain what a sievert (Sv) is, the unit of the international system of units (SI) used to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation and its effects on human health
- What is Sievert – Unit of Equivalent Dose – Definition
In radiation protection, the sievert is a derived unit of equivalent dose and effective dose The sievert represents the equivalent biological effect of the deposit of a joule of gamma rays energy in a kilogram of human tissue
- sievert - Wiktionary, the free dictionary
sievert (plural sieverts) In the International System of Units, the derived unit of radiation dose: the dose received in one hour at a distance of 1 cm from a point source of 1 mg of radium in a 0 5 mm thick platinum enclosure, which in its biological effects corresponds to several different quantities: equivalent dose, effective dose, and committed dose alternative form Alternative form: Sv
- Sievert - Energy Education
Named after Rolf Sievert for his work with radiation dosage and protection against radiation, [2] the Sievert is a measure of external and internal biological exposure to radiation
- SIEVERT Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The sievert is a unit that measures the amount of radiation absorbed by a person—while accounting for the type of radiation and its impact on particular organs and tissues in the body—and is equivalent to one joule of energy per kilogram of mass
- What Is a Sievert and How Does It Measure Radiation?
The Sievert (Sv) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit for quantifying the health effects of ionizing radiation on the human body It measures both equivalent and effective dose, representing the potential for biological harm from radiation exposure
