Activité; activity
A quantity representative of a radionuclide. It corresponds to the number of disintegrations of radionuclide nuclei per unit of time, expressed in becquerels (Bq): 1 Bq = 1 disintegration per second.
Activités massique et volumique; massic or volumic activity
Quantities representative of the concentration of a radionuclide; they are expressed in Bq.kg -1 ...
