• Exposure in excess of ten times the statutory annual limit for workers.
• Non-lethal deterministic health effect (e.g., burns) from radiation.

• Exposure rates of more than 1 Sv/h in an operating area.
• Severe contamination in an area not expected by design, with a low probability of ­significant public exposure.
