krad = pGy × 1.000000000e-13
About Picograys
The picogray (pGy) equals 10⁻¹² Gy. Microdosimetry simulations of α-particle traversals through single cells report mean specific energies in the pGy range; computed dose kernels for ²¹⁰At and !21³Bi targeted alpha therapy on individual cell clusters are expressed in pGy. 1 pGy = 10⁻¹² Gy = 10⁻³ nGy.
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.
