Define Sievert or SI unit of dose equivalent

Sievert: Sv: The derived SI unit of dose equivalent, stated as the absorbed dose of the ionizing radiation multiplied by internationally-agreed-upon dimensionless weights, as various kinds of ionizing radiation cause various kinds of damage in the living tissue. The Sv, such as the Gy, encompass units of J/kg.
