About Millirems
The millirem (mrem) equals 10⁻³ rem = 10⁻⁵ Sv. Standard unit in US radiation protection: NRC occupational whole-body limit 5000 mrem/year; US average annual background ~300 mrem; EPA drinking-water dose limit 4 mrem/year; dose rates near US nuclear plant boundaries are reported in mrem/year. 1 mrem = 10⁻⁵ Sv = 10 µSv.
About Kilorems
The kilorem (krem) equals 10³ rem = 10 Sv. Used in radiation hardness testing of electronics for space and military: total ionising dose (TID) specifications cite krem(Si) levels; prompt nuclear radiation effects on personnel in nuclear weapons effects literature are quoted in krem. 1 krem = 10 Sv = 10³ rem.
