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.

About Nanobecquerels per kilogram

The nanobecquerel per kilogram (nBq/kg) equals 10⁻⁹ Bq/kg. Marine radioactivity surveys measure transuranics (²³⁹Pu, ²⁴°Am) in deep-sea sediments at nBq/kg; CTBTO monitoring stations track fallout ¹³⁷Cs in aerosol filter samples approaching the nBq/kg level. 1 nBq/kg = 10⁻⁹ Bq/kg = 10⁻³ µBq/kg.
