Effective Irradiation Dose Unit-UV

["Kenneth W. Price" <75301.361@compuserve.com>]

Radsafers,

I came across a unit of "effective irradiation dose" for UV in the 253.7 nm
 region.  This unit is the nano-Einstein/mm2.  This unit was used in a
paper published in Biochemistry in 1977.  The unit as used in the article,
relates moles of ATP joined per mole of enzyme.  Any info on this unit?
