The equivalent dose to target region r_T per nuclear transformation of a given radionuclide in source region r_S, Sv (Bq s)-1.
where E_{R,i} is the energy in joules of the ith radiation of type R emitted in nuclear transformations of the radionuclide (J); Y_{R,i} is the yield of the ith radiation of type R per nuclear transformation [(Bq s)-1]; w_R is the radiation weighting factor for radiation type R; and \phi (r_T \leftarrow r_s, E_{R,i}) is the specific absorbed fraction defined as the fraction of energy E_{R,i} of radiation type R emitted within the source region r_S that is absorbed per mass in the target region r_T (kg-1).
