INES: The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale User's Manual
2008 Edition
|
| INES, the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, was
developed in 1990 by experts convened by the IAEA and the OECD
Nuclear Energy Agency with the aim of communicating the safety
significance of events. This edition of the INES User’s Manual is designed
to facilitate the task of those who are required to rate the safety
significance of events using the scale. It includes additional guidance
and clarifications, and provides examples and comments on the
continued use of INES. With this new edition, it is anticipated that INES
will be widely used by Member States and become the worldwide scale
for putting into proper perspective the safety significance of any event
associated with the transport, storage and use of radioactive material
and radiation sources, whether or not the event occurs at a facility.
