In physics, the electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy. By definition, it is equal to the amount of energy gained by a single unbound electron when it accelerates through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt. In SI units, it is the number which measures the charge of the electron with the unit changed from C to J. : :: 1 eV = 1.602 176 53(14)×10−19 Joule So 1 Mev which is 1 million eV is 1.60217653 x 10-13 Joules. This is a very small quantity, in fact the energy released by the fission of one atom of U235 is 200 MeV
1 Mev = 1.60217657 × 10-13 joules
1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 Joule1 MeV = 106 eV = 1.6 x 10-13 Joule
200 MeV is a tiny quantity, it may sound a lot but is actually about 3 x 10-11 Joules. The point is that in a large fission reactor there are billions of fissions occurring every second and each one releases 200 MeV. As 1 Joule = 1 Watt.sec, and 1 KWh = 3.6 x 106 Watt.secs, you can see that the question is rather unbalanced!
MJ means megajoule, and mega is a prefix that means "million".
1 BTU = ~1,055.056 joules
1 kwh = 3,600,000 Joules
The MeV means million electron volts. It's a measure of the energy the energy in the photon, which is a quantum (or specific quantity) of electromagnetic energy. This 1 megaelectron volt = 1.60217646 × 10-13 joules of energy.
If you look up the equivalent mass of 1 AMU in kilograms, and theequivalent energy of 931 Mev in joules, you'll find, oddly enough, thatE = M c2 .

1000 GeV means "gigaelectron volts" (1 billion, or 1,000,000,000 eV) MeV means "megaelectron volts" (1 million, or 1,000,000 eV)
MJ means megajoule, and mega is a prefix that means "million".
MV stands for Mega-volt.It is a unit of electric potential.1 MV = 1000000 volts.1 MeV stands for million electron volts.It is a unit of energy.1 MeV = 1.60217653 x 10-13 Joules.

When a uranium atom decays into two fragment atoms, an energy of ~200 MeV is released. Of this energy, 168 MeV is the kinetic energy of the daughter atoms, which fly apart at a speed of c/30 due to Coulomb repulsion. Also, an average of 2.5 neutrons are emitted with a kinetic energy of ~2 MeV each. Finally, the fission reaction emits a ~30 MeV gamma ray photon.In physics, the electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy. By definition, it is equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single unbound electron when it accelerates through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt. : :: 1 eV = 1.602×10−19 Joules So 200 Mev = 200 x 106 x 1.602 x 10-19 Joules = 3.204 x 10-11 Joules
Joules or eV are units of energy - In particle phsyics, 1 joule is a very large amount of energy, so sometimes physisits use eV or other adaptated units for the field they work in. At the end its all the same its a quantity of energy ! 1 rad (or rem) = 0.01 joules per kilogram 1 gray (or sievert) = 1 joule per kilogram 1 rad = 6.24E7 MeV per gram 1 rad = 100 ergs per gram 1 electron volt = 1.6E-12 ergs 1 electron volt = 1.6E-19 joules 1 electron volt = 0.001 keV 1 electron volt = 1E-6 MeV 1 erg = 1E-7 joules 1 erg = 6.24E5 MeV 1 erg = 6.24E11 electron volts 1 MeV = 1.6E-6 ergs 1 joule = 1E7 ergs
When you're dealing with units of measure, the prefix "mega..." normally means "million". Accordingly and consequently, 1 megajoule = 1,000,000 joules
