Converting from Kilobecquerel (kBq) to Microсurie (µCi) | Radioactivity

What is Kilobecquerel (kBq)

Kilobecquerel (kBq) is a unit of radioactivity in the International System of Units (SI). It represents one thousand becquerels, where one becquerel is equal to one decay per second. It is commonly used to measure the activity of radioactive substances.

What is Microсurie (µCi)

Microсurie (µCi) is a unit of radioactivity mainly used in the United States. It is equal to one millionth of a curie, where one curie is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second. It is often employed in nuclear medicine and research.
