Convert Kilorads to Megagrays
Convert Kilorads (krad) to Megagrays (MGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MGy = krad × 1.000000000e-5
About Kilorads
The kilorad (krad) equals 10 Gy. Used in radiation hardness testing of electronics for space and military applications: commercial components typically withstand 0.1-10 krad(Si); military-grade components are specified to 100-1000 krad(Si). Semiconductor device qualification standards (MIL-STD-883, ESCC 22900) quote total ionising dose in krad. 1 krad = 10 Gy.
About Megagrays
The megagray (MGy) equals 10⁶ Gy. Doses in the MGy range destroy virtually all molecular structures. Radiation chemistry of water reaches radical recombination equilibrium above 1 MGy; neutron-irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels accumulate fast-neutron damage equivalent to 0.01-1 MGy over a 40-year lifetime. 1 MGy = 10⁶ Gy = 10⁸ rad.
