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.
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.
