Key Stage 4
Meaning
Megasieverts (MSv) are a unit of 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, an upper case S and a lower case v.
- Mega means one million so there are 1,000,000 Sieverts in a megasievert.
