About Gigabecquerels per kilogram
The gigabecquerel per kilogram (GBq/kg) equals 10⁹ Bq/kg. Characterises specific activity of cyclotron-produced short-lived nuclides: ¹⁸F batches from a medical cyclotron have specific activities of 10⁴-10⁵ GBq/µmol; ⁹⁹mTc eluates from a Mo/Tc generator are in the GBq/kg concentration range for clinical use. 1 GBq/kg = 10⁹ Bq/kg.
About Microcuries per kilogram
The microcurie per kilogram (µCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10⁴ Bq/kg = 37 kBq/kg. Used in US nuclear facility waste characterisation and NRC licence conditions for effluent releases; ¹³⁷Cs body burden in heavily exposed Chernobyl liquidators reached the µCi/kg level in the immediate aftermath. 1 µCi/kg = 3.7 × 10⁴ Bq/kg.
