Gray (unit) Gray (unit) The gray (symbol: Gy) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. It is used as a unit of the radiation quantity absorbed dose which measures the energy deposited in a unit mass at a certain position, and of the radiation quantity kerma, which is the amount of energy that is transferred from photons to electrons per unit mass at a certain position. The corresponding cgs unit to the gray is the rad (equivalent to
Information Bridge: Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Information the DOE mission are included. DOE report literature, conference papers, books, dissertations, and patents are available. The DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) developed and hosts this website as a public service. The Information Bridge: DOE Scientific and Technical Information was introduced to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) community in 1997 and was the first electronic system to provide searchable full-text and bibliographic records of DOE-sponsored research report literature. Originally made available only to DOE and DOE contractors, Information Bridge was launched as a free public access database in April 1998. The Atomic Energy Acts of 1946
