Sieverts to Rems Converter
Definition
A sievert (Sv) is the SI unit of equivalent radiation dose, measuring the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue, equal to 1 joule per kilogram adjusted for radiation type. A rem (roentgen equivalent man) is an older unit, where 1 Sv = 100 rems, used to quantify radiation exposure.
History
The sievert was introduced in 1977 by the international commission on radiological protection (ICRP), named after rolf sievert, a Swedish radiologist. The rem originated in the 1940s in the US during early radiation safety studies, tied to the roentgen, and was replaced by the sievert in SI standardization.
