events from a range of activities, including industrial and medical use of radiation sources, operations at nuclear facilities and transport of radioactive material. Events are classified on the scale at seven levels: Levels 1–3 are called "incidents"
The International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) is a system introduced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It was introduced to allow people to communicate how serious a nuclear accident is. Other people are then able to react faster to take protection measures.
The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) is a tool for communicating to the public the safety significance of nuclear and radiological events. The scale can be applied to events occurring at diverse facilities (e.g., NPPs, fuel cycle facilities, research reactors and accelerators and facilities associated with radioactive ...
The International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) was introduced in March 1990 jointly by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/NEA). Its primary purpose is to facilitate communication and understanding
