INES 1: Anomaly

Impact on Defence-in-Depth
  • Overexposure of a member of the public in excess of statutory ­annual limits.
  • Minor problems with safety components with significant defence-in-depth remaining.
  • Low activity lost or stolen radioactive source, device or transport package.
(Arrangements for reporting minor events to the public differ from country to country. Also, it is difficult to ensure precise consistency in rating events between INES Level-1 and Below scale/Level-0)
