Conversion Formula

pSv = MSv × 1.000000000e+18

About Megasieverts

The megasievert (MSv) equals 10⁶ Sv. Entirely theoretical for biological contexts - severe radiation damage occurs well below 1 MSv. Appears in materials science modelling of extreme radiation environments, theoretical nuclear detonation effects at point of burst, and advanced reactor pressure vessel damage accumulation calculations. 1 MSv = 10⁶ Sv = 10⁸ rem.

About Picosieverts

The picosievert (pSv) equals 10⁻¹² Sv. Microdosimetry models of single α-particle traversals through cell nuclei report mean specific energies in the pSv range; ultra-low-background radiation detectors in deep underground laboratories for dark matter searches are characterised at pSv sensitivity levels. 1 pSv = 10⁻¹² Sv = 10⁻³ nSv.
