&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt; [[Category:Done 2016-04-30]] &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;onlyinclude&amp;gt;The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;curie&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ci&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the [[SI|non-SI]] [[units|unit]] for [[radioactive decay]] measuring the [[radioactivity]] of a substance.&amp;lt;/onlyinclude&amp;gt; However, today the official SI unit for radioactive decay is the [[Becquerel]]. The curie specifies the amount of [[ionizing radiation]] [[energy]] that is emitted from an unstable [[isotope]] as it decays.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;U.S.NRC. (06, 21, 2016). Curie (Ci) [Online]. Available: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/glossary/curie-ci.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Named after Marie Curie, a chemist and the first female to win a Nobel prize after coining the term radioactivity,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;UNEP. “Radiation Effects and Sources,” United Nations Environment Programme, Austria. Sci. Rep. 978-92-807-3517-8. 2016. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the Ci also measures the amount of disintegrations per second coming from a decaying element such as [[Uranium]]. Originally, the curie was a comparison of the activity of a sample to the activity of one gram of radium, which was measured at 37 billion disintegrations per second.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;E.E. Anderson. “Units of Radiation and Radioactivity.” Public Health Reports, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn. Vol. 67, No. 3, March 1952&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For example, a radioactive sample undergoing 74 billion disintegrations per second has an activity of 2 curies. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The ability to measure the activity of a substance is practical and has many applications. For example, measuring the activity of a substance can help determine the [[half-life]] of a sample. One useful application involving half-life is radioactive dating, which is used to determine the age of rocks and other materials, which is how the [[timescale of the universe|age of the Earth]] is known.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The TalkOrigins Archive, &amp;quot;The Age of the Earth&amp;quot; [Online], Available: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-age-of-earth.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The curie is a fairly large unit of measurement, thus it is commonly prefixed to represent a wide range of different activity level, for example:&lt;br /&gt;
*Picocuries (pCi): are 1 million millionth of a curie (1 x 10-12 Ci). Picocuries are used in measuring the typically small amount of radioactivity in air and water. &lt;br /&gt;
*Megacuries (MCi) are 1 million curies (1 x 106 Ci). Megacuries are used in measuring the very large amount of radioactivity released from nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
