About Megarads
The megarad (Mrad) equals 10⁶ rad = 10⁴ Gy. Used in radiation hardening of electronics and wire/cable insulation: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation is cured at 5-20 Mrad; some legacy radiation hardness assurance (RHA) test reports for space electronics quote doses in Mrad(Si). 1 Mrad = 10⁴ Gy = 10 kGy.
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.
