L'unité de mesure la plus commune utilisée pour évaluer le rayonnement est le sievert. Un sievert de radiation produit le même effet sur les créatures vivantes, quel que soit le type de rayonnement ionisant (alpha, bêta ou gamma). Les faibles intensités de rayonnement sont exprimées en millisieverts (millièmes de sievert) et microsieverts (millionièmes de sievert). 2, record 4, French, - millisievert
