skos:definition "1. Any unintended 'event', including operating errors, equipment 'failures'<br/>
and other mishaps, the consequences or potential consequences of which are <br/>not negligible from the point of view of 'protection 'or 'safety'.<br/>
<i><b>accident conditions.</b></i> See 'plant states'.<br/>
<i><b>beyond design basis accident.</b></i> See 'plant states'.<br/>
<i><b>criticality accident.</b></i> An 'accident' involving 'criticality'.<br/>
Typically, in a 'facility' in which 'fissile material' is used.<br/>
<i><b>design basis accident.</b></i> See 'plant states'.<br/>
<i><b>nuclear accident.</b></i> [Any 'accident' involving 'facilities 'or' activities' from <br/>which a release of 'radioactive material' occurs or is likely to occur and <br/>which has resulted or may result in an international transboundary <br/>release that could be of radiological 'safety' significance for another State.] <br/>(From Ref. [6].)<br/>
<b>!</b> This is not explicitly stated to be a definition of 'nuclear accident', but it is <br/>
derived from the statement of the scope of application in Article 1 of the <br/>Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident. However, this <br/>Convention has a limited scope of application, and it is unreasonable to <br/>consider a 'nuclear accident' to be only an accident that results or may result in <br/>an international transboundary release.<br/>
<i><b>severe accident.</b></i> See 'plant states'.<br/>
2. See 'event' and 'INES'.<br/>
There remains a fundamental mismatch between the terminology used in <br/>'safety standards' and that used in 'INES'. In short, 'events' that would be <br/>considered accidents according to the 'safety standards' definition may be <br/>accidents or ‘'incidents'’ (i.e. not accidents) in 'INES' terminology. See 'INES' for <br/>a more extensive discussion.<br/>" (en)
