"t" means metric tonne.

The different radiation units drive me crazy. This dose calculator gives results in milliSieverts (mS) or microSieverts. To convert milliSiverts to milliRems multiply the answer by 100,  for example  .03 milliSieverts = 3 milliRems. To convert microSieverts divide by 10, example 900 microSieverts = 90 milliRems
