Convert Nanocuries to Gigacuries
Convert Nanocuries (nCi) to Gigacuries (GCi) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GCi = nCi × 1.000000000e-18
About Nanocuries
The nanocurie (nCi) equals 37 Bq. Sealed radioactive sources in laboratory instruments (electron-capture detectors in GC, ionisation chambers) are licensed in nCi; nCi is the working unit on US NRC licence forms and instrument calibration certificates for low-level sources. 1 nCi = 37 Bq = 3.7 × 10⁻⁸ Ci.
About Gigacuries
The gigacurie (GCi) equals 3.7 × 10¹⁹ Bq. The total fission product inventory of a 1 GWe nuclear power reactor at equilibrium is ~0.5 GCi; global spent fuel inventories worldwide exceed 10 GCi; total reactor-produced tritium in the world's oceans is estimated at ~1 GCi. 1 GCi = 3.7 × 10¹⁹ Bq.
