Rad
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The rad is a unit of radiation dose. This form of measurement was still used by the Federation during the 24th century.
[edit] Comparative list of radiation doses
- The external temperature of a Federation shuttlecraft, utilizing metaphasic shielding, can tolerate radiation levels that approach 10,000 rads and temperatures of 1.9 million K, while maintaining an internal cabin temperature of 21 °C. (TNG: "Suspicions")
- In 2372, the Doctor attempted to slow down Tom Paris' cellular mutation with radiometric therapy at 45 rads per second. It had no effect, so the Doctor had Kes increase it to 85 rads per second. (VOY: "Threshold")
- 1 millirad = 1/1,000 rad
- An adult spaceborne species, the "mother" of Junior sent energy rays at the USS Enterprise-D which emanated radiation at a level of sixty-five millirads per minute which later rose to three hundred millirads. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")
- In 2369, Doctor Julian Bashir bombarded a sample of the aphasia virus, grown on tetracitrus gel, with hyperonic radiation at 430 millirads. (DS9: "Babel")
