About Becquerels per kilogram
The becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg) is the SI derived unit of specific activity. It is the primary unit in food safety regulations worldwide: the EU, Japan, and Codex Alimentarius set ¹³⁷Cs limits in Bq/kg for foodstuffs; soil ¹³⁷Cs contamination from Chernobyl and Fukushima fallout is mapped in Bq/kg. 1 Bq/kg = 1 s⁻¹ kg⁻¹ = 1 mBq/g.
About Megabecquerels per kilogram
The megabecquerel per kilogram (MBq/kg) equals 10⁶ Bq/kg. Typical for enriched or irradiated materials: moderately irradiated nuclear fuel after cooling has fission-product specific activities in the MBq/kg to GBq/kg range for individual nuclides; ₉ₐSr in high-dose-rate brachytherapy sources is characterised in MBq/kg. 1 MBq/kg = 10⁶ Bq/kg.
