The unit of 'equivalent dose' is the 'sievert (Sv)', equal to 1 J/kg. The 'rem', equal <br/>to 0.01 Sv, is sometimes used as a unit of 'equivalent dose' and 'effective dose'. <br/>This should not be used in 'IAEA' 'publications', except when quoting directly <br/>from other publications, in which case the value in 'sieverts' should be added in <br/>parentheses.<br/>'Equivalent dose' is a measure of the 'dose' to a tissue or organ designed to <br/>reflect the amount of harm caused.<br/>Values of 'equivalent dose' to a specified tissue from any type(s) of <i>radiation<br/></i>can be compared directly.<br/>
