Conversion Formula
kBq = PBq × 1000000000000
About Petabecquerels
The petabecquerel (PBq) equals 10¹⁵ Bq. The Chernobyl accident (1986) released ~5200 PBq of noble gases and ~1760 PBq of ¹³¹I; Fukushima Daiichi (2011) released 400-900 PBq ¹³¹I-equivalent; global ⁸⁵Kr inventory from nuclear operations is ~1300 PBq. 1 PBq = 10¹⁵ Bq = 10³ TBq.
About Kilobecquerels
The kilobecquerel (kBq) equals 10³ Bq. Food safety authorities report ¹³⁷Cs contamination in kBq/kg (Codex Alimentarius and EC 733/2008 limits); ¹²⁵I tracers in radioimmunoassay kits are typically 3.7-18.5 kBq per well. 1 kBq = 10³ Bq = 1000 Bq.
