==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Millisieverts''' ('''mSv''') are a [[unit]] of [[Radiation Dose|radiation dose]] 1,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Sievert]].
===About Millisieverts===
: '''Millisieverts''' are shortened to '''mSv''' with a lower case m and an upper case '''Sv'''.
: [[Milli]] means one thousandth so there are 1,000 [[millisievert]]s in a [[Sievert]].
