INES 2: Incident

• Exposure of a member of the public in excess of 10 mSv.
• Exposure of a worker in excess of the statutory annual limits.

• Radiation levels in an operating area of more than 50 mSv/h.
• Significant contamination within the facility into an area not expected by design.

• 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.
