Activity of a specified radionuclide (\(\ce{R}\)) per unit mass of that nuclide.
Note:
If the term 'specific activity' is used without qualification, it should be made clear whether it is of a material or of a radionuclide. See: specific activity of a radionuclide in a material.

Example:
Specific activity of tritium (\(\ce{^{3}H}\)) is \(\pu{3.57E17 Bq kg-1}\) (\(\pu{9.65 Ci mg-1}\)).
