Unit name: curie
Latin symbol: Ci
Display symbol: Ci

Description: A unit of activity with the value 3.7·10⁻¹⁰ s⁻¹ using the current, or one of the historical, definitions of the SI units.

Defined as outside the SI at the 12th CGPM meeting in 1964, resolution 7. Implicitly redefined via the redefinition of the second at the 13th CGPM Meeting in 1967, resolution 1.

This is a generalized definition taken to reference the current, or one of the historical, SI unit definitions. This definition is intended for situations when it is not possible to be more precise, e.g., in contexts where data have been collected that uses different historical SI definitions.
