A rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, but it is not commonly used anymore. The International System of Units now uses the gray (Gy) as the standard unit for absorbed radiation dose. 1 rad is equal to 0.01 gray.

What does rad stand for in radiation measurement?

It doesn't "stand" for anything*rad stands for 'radiation absorbed dose'* The rad is an obsolete unit of measure. It is not an abbreviation.According to Anwers.com, it is a "unit of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joules per kilogram of irradiated material. It has been replaced as a standard scientific unit by the gray."The gray is the official SI unit equal to one joule per kilogram.
