BecquerelConversion description

We express our heartfelt sympathy to earthquake and tsunami victims in Northeast Japan.

Becquerel Conversion is an application converting Becquerel (Bq) values to Sievert (Sv) values.
Radioactive substances it detects are iodine-131, cesium-134, and cesium-137.

The Becquerel (Bq) measures the activity of radioactive substances, whereas the Sievert (Sv) evaluates the effects of radiation on the body.

We use published data from the Nuclear Safety Research Association of Japan for calculations.
