What are Kilogray and Exagray

A Kilogray (kGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose that measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in matter. It represents a thousand Grays, where one Gray is equivalent to one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter. Kilograys are commonly used in fields like radiation therapy, food irradiation, and sterilization processes. The kGy unit helps quantify the intensity of radiation exposure, ensuring safety and effectiveness in various applications by providing a precise measurement of the absorbed dose.

An Exagray (EGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose that represents an exceedingly large amount of energy deposition by ionizing radiation in matter. Specifically, one Exagray equals 10^18 Grays, where one Gray equates to one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter. EGy is used in theoretical and scientific contexts to describe vast doses of radiation. Although not commonly applied in everyday scenarios, Exagray provides a framework for understanding extreme energy levels when studying fields like astrophysics or large-scale nuclear events.
