Michelle and fellow Radsafers,

Hertz and Bq are both measured in units of sec-1, but the sole
difference is that Hertz is a measure of a UNIFORM time frequency, while
Bq a special unit of radioactivity measuring RANDOM time frequency
(i.e., average frequency of randomly occuring events).

Cheers, Wes
