Use this page to convert nanocurie values into becquerel, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

1 nCi = 37 Bq

1 Bq = 0.027027027027027 nCi

Example: 1000 nCi = 37,000 Bq

One nanocurie is equal to one billionth of a curie (1.0E-9 curies), or 37 becquerels.

History: Standard prefix applied to the curie.

Current use: Used for measuring very small radioactive concentrations.

Also written as nCi.

One becquerel is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.

History: Named after Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.

Current use: The standard international unit for radioactivity in medicine, science, and industry.

Also written as Bq, becquerels.
