The SI unit for exposure to ionizing radiation is coulomb per kilogram (Ckg-1) and curiously unlikely other SI radiation units, a specific name has not been adopted for this unit. This unit officially replaced the old unit, the roentgen in 1975, with an official transition period lasting at least ten years 1.
