How many rems are in one sievert?

One sievert equals 100 rem. The formula is rem = Sv × 100.

How do I convert sieverts to rems?

Multiply the value in sieverts by 100. For example, 100 × 100 = 10,000 — so 100 Sv = 10,000 rem.

The sievert does not count the energy of radiation, but its real harm to living cells. Here is how one physicist turned subatomic collisions into a single, readable language of risk.
