About Kilocoulombs per kilogram
The kilocoulomb per kilogram (kC/kg) equals 10³ C/kg ≈ 3.88 × 10⁶ R. Encountered only in extreme prompt-radiation environments such as nuclear weapon burst regions and high-power flash X-ray facility calibration; at this exposure level all air volumes are multiply ionised and conventional dosimetry models break down. 1 kC/kg = 10³ C/kg.
About Roentgens
The roentgen (R) equals exactly 2.58 × 10⁻⁴ C/kg, the historical unit of X-ray and gamma-ray exposure defined in 1928 (ICRU) and redefined exactly in 1962. Still widely used in the US: field survey instruments read in R/h; NRC and EPA regulations cite R and mR; the Chernobyl accounts famously reported readings in R/h. 1 R = 2.58 × 10⁻⁴ C/kg.
