Introduction
General accidents in the
nuclear industry are
classified by the INES
(International Nuclear and
Radiological Event Scale)
scale.
Wherever radiation is
involved there is INES as
well.
This scale is logarithmic, which means every level is 10
times worse than the previous. The same as the richter
scale.
