  > The becquerel, or Bq, is the si unit of (radio)activity. It is also defined as one event per second.

  Bq is not defined as "one event per second". One becquerel is defined "as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel
