A becquerel is the number of radioactive emissions per second. So stating becquerels per time is like talking about power per time.
Are we talking about a mean over a period, a cumulative total (becquerels hour), or what?
I'm guessing the Hiroshima blast number is the instantaneous peak.
- Aron 16y agoYeah I mixed my units. We'd have to assume that's a peak figure and that it continued for a full second (or equivalent) to fix my comparison. I suspect the peak output was much briefer than a full second. Probably best to throw out my original comment.
