Imperial and US customary measurement systems different concepts – the imperial gallon is defined in terms of the volume occupied by a specified mass of water, while the US gallon is specified in terms of cubic linear measure. Notes Notes Units of weight in both the imperial and US customary system always used the same standard, though differences in multiples of the avoirdupois pound developed in the nineteenth century. Both systems used the three different scales – the avoirdupois system for general use, the troy system for precious metals and the apothecaries system in the pharmacy industry. The term "weight" and "mass" are used interchangeably in
Synthesis of precious metals normal to allow used nuclear fuel to stand for about five years before reprocessing, much of this activity will decay away leaving 4.7 MBq of Rh and 5.0 MBq of Rh. If the rhodium metal was then left for 20 years after fission, the 13.3 grams of rhodium metal would contain 1.3 kBq of Rh and 500 kBq of Rh. Rhodium has the highest price of these precious metals ($25,000/kg in 2015), but the cost of the separation of the rhodium from the other metals needs to be considered. Palladium is also produced by nuclear fission in small percentages, amounting
