Re: Abbreviations, continued

Ah Yes Ron, but what was the abbreviation for the Rutherford, equaling ten
to the sixth disintegrations per second. This has always been an
interesting quantity for two reasons.

1. It is the right size, not as unwieldy as a Curie, not as ridiculously
small as a Becquerel.

2. Al Brodsky said ten to the sixth is a magic number in Health Physics.
