Committed dose equivalent is the dose to a specific organ or tissue that is received from an intake of radioactive material by an individual during the 50-year period following the intake. Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable Atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and Radiation. The CDE is expressed in rem or sieverts (Sv). The Röntgen ( roentgen) equivalent in man or rem (symbol rem) The sievert (symbol Sv is the SI derived unit of dose equivalent.
