One rem is equivalent to 10 millisieverts (mSv). Both are units of measurement for ionizing radiation dose, with the rem being part of the older, traditional system and the mSv being part of the metric system. Thus, if you want to convert rem to millisieverts, you can simply multiply the number of rem by 10.

How many millisievert equal 1 sievert?
1 sievert is equal to 1000 millisieverts.
How many stages of sleep there?
There are 4 non-REM stages and REM sleep.
Is 300 rem of radiation harmful?
Yes, 300 rem (or 3,000 millisieverts) of radiation is considered extremely harmful and potentially lethal. At this level of exposure, severe health effects, including acute radiation syndrome, can occur, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and increased risk of long-term effects like cancer. Immediate medical treatment would be crucial for anyone exposed to such a high dose.
What are the units of radiation doses?
Sieverts and milliSieverts are used now. They replaced the old rem and millirem. There is a factor 100 difference, so 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. The current limit for nuclear industry employees is 20 milliSv/year, though the actual average level in the US is about 2.4 milliSv.
What amount of radiation is received by US citizens from normally operating nuclear power plants compared to natural background radiation?
Radiation levels are measured now in millisieverts(mSv), formerly they were in Rem. The relation is 1 Rem = 10 millisieverts. Typical background levels for North America are 3 mSv/year, but there will be variations from place to place, depending on the type of underlying rocks and whether radon is present (radon is a radioactive gas produced by radium decay). The average extra dose received by nuclear plant workers (in the US) is 2.4 mSv/year. I doubt if any extra radiation to the general public can be attributed to nuclear plants in normal operation.

What are rems?
The Rem used to be used in Health Physics to measure radiation dose, it is an acronym for Rontgen Equivalent Man.(The methodology allows for the different effects of different types of radiation). The unit now used is the Sievert (Sv), 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. This is a large unit, so millisieverts are used for practical personnel radiation measures, so 1 millisievert = 100 millirem. Recommended radiation levels for nuclear workers are set by the ICRP (International Committee for Radiation Protection). These used to be set at 5 Rem/year (50 milliSv) but now the level is 20 milliSv/year ie 2 Rem/year. The use of Rem and millirem has been discontinued in the nuclear industry in favour of Sieverts and millisieverts. However as someone with nuclear experience going back to 1958 I find it difficult to think in Sieverts. For example I know that 500 Rem will kill roughly 1/2 the people exposed to it within a month, now I have to change that to 5 Sieverts. Fortunately that level of exposure has only happened once (at Chernobyl).
REM rebound involves the?
REM rebound involves the tendency for REM sleep to increase following REM sleep deprivation.

There are 4 syllables. Rem-in-is-cing.
