About These Units

Kilorad (krad)

A kilorad (krad) equals 1,000 rads or 10 grays. Used in electronics radiation hardening: commercial chips fail at 1-10 krad, radiation-hardened: 100+ krad, space-grade: 300+ krad total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance.

Microroentgen (μR)

A microroentgen (μR) equals 0.001 mR. Used in environmental radiation monitoring, radon measurements, and low-level contamination surveys. Natural background: 10-20 μR/h typical. Sensitive ion chambers measure in μR/h.
