INES 2: Incident
Impact on People and Environment:
- Exposure of a member of the public in excess of 10 mSv.
- Exposure of a worker in excess of the statutory annual limits.
Impact on Radiological Barriers and Control:
- Radiation levels in an operating area of more than 50 mSv/h.
- Significant contamination within the facility into an area not expected by design.
Impact on Defence-in-Depth:
- Significant failures in safety provisions but with no actual consequences.
- Found highly radioactive sealed orphan source, device or transport package with safety provisions intact.
- Inadequate packaging of a highly radioactive sealed source.
