==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Megasieverts''' ('''MSv''') are a [[unit]] of [[Radiation Dose|radiation dose]] 1,000,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Sievert]].
===About Megasieverts===
: '''Megasieverts''' are shortened to '''MSv''' with an upper case M and an upper case '''Sv'''.
: [[Mega]] means one million so there are 1,000,000 [[Sievert]]s in a [[megasievert]].
