International nuclear event scale for reportable incidents in nuclear facilities

Creators

Description

INES, the International Nuclear Event Scale set up by the IAEA, has been applied in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1992. The allowable periods to be observed for reporting incidents to the supervisory authority (S, E, N) remained unchanged. The scale covers seven classes, with classes 4-7 being reserved for accidents, classes 1-3 characterizing incidents, and reportable events without impact in terms of safety engineering or radiological safety belonging to class 0, 'below the scale'.

Abstract (German)

Die Bewertungsskala hat sieben Stufen. Die oberen Stufen (4-7) umfassen Unfaelle, die unteren Stufen (1-3) Stoerungen und Stoerfaelle. Meldepflichtige Ereignisse ohne sicherheitstechnische oder radiologische Bedeutung im Sinne der internationalen Skala werden als 'Unterhalb der Skala' bzw. 'Stufe 0' bezeichnet. Die Skala wird auch in der Bundesrepublik seit 1992 angewendet. Die nach Fristen gestufte Meldepflicht an die Behoerden (S, E, N) bleibt unveraendert. (orig.)/HP)
