Russian term

бикерель

Russian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
И у нас норма цезия в молоке - сто бикерелей в литре. Как мой внук может иметь ноль если он пьет каждый день литр молока, в котором сто бикерелей в литре? Это норма считается для ребенка. Тридцать семь во всем мире бикерелей на литр считается, что если это содержимое, тогда это хорошо, детская смесь. У нас же официально - все, норма, хорошо.

The above is an excerpt from an interview with a Belorussian physician on the impact of Chernobyl. I'm transcribing, so I may be hearing it incorrectly, but it sure sounds phonetically correct. Google is entirely unhelpful, so I'm guessing there must be some kind of alternate spelling. Turning to the pros for help.
