Gray
(Gy) Gray is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose. 1 Gray is equal to the energy absorption of 1 Joule per kilogram. The absorbed dose due to any type of radiation is measured in Gray. 1 Gray is equal to 100 rads in the older terminology.

Planck
Planck is a MKS unit of energy (expended over time to angular momentum, etc.). One Planck unit is equal to 1 joule second (J x s) or about 0.7375 foot pound second (ft x lb x s). Atomic nuclei possess an intrinsic angular momentum referred to as spin, measured in multiples of Planck's constant. The unit is named for the German physicist Max Planck.
Radiation Absorbed Dose
(rad) One rad is the absorbed radiation dose of 100 ergs of energy by one gram or 0.01 joules of energy by one kilogram of matter. In the SI system of units, the rad is replaced by the gray (Gy). 1 Gy = 100 rad. See also Absorbed Dose Rate.
Sievert
(Sv) The sievert is the SI unit of a dose equivalent, which accounts for relative sensitivities of different tissues and organs exposed to radiation. The effective dose, usually measured in millisievert (mSv), attempts to reflect the biological effects of radiation. One sievert equals an ionizing x-ray or gamma radiation energy loss of 1 joule per kilogram of body tissue (1 gray). One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem.
It is named after Rolf Sievert, a Swedish medical physicist.
Volt
(V) The SI unit of electric potential.
Definition: The amount of potential energy present per unit of charge. 1 volt represents a potential of 1 joule per coulomb of charge.
The unit is named for the Italian scientist Count Alessandro Volta.
