skos:definition "1. The final stage of a 'process', especially the point at which an effect is <br/>
observed.<br/>
Used, somewhat loosely, to describe a range of different results or consequences. <br/>For example, the term ‘biological 'end point'’ is used to describe a 'health effect' (or <br/>a probability of that 'health effect') that could result from 'exposure'.<br/>
2. A radiological or other measure of 'protection' or 'safety' that is the <br/>
calculated result of an 'analysis' or 'assessment'.<br/>
Common 'end points' include estimates of 'dose' or 'risk', estimated frequency or <br/>probability of an 'event' or type of 'event' (such as core damage), expected <br/>number of 'health effects' in a population, predicted environmental <br/>concentrations of radionuclides, etc.<br/>
3. A predetermined criterion defining the point at which a specific task <br/>
or 'process' will be considered completed.<br/>
This usage often occurs in contexts such as 'decontamination' or 'remediation', <br/>where the 'end point' is typically the level of 'contamination' beyond which <br/>further 'decontamination' or 'remediation' is considered unnecessary. (In such a <br/>context, this criterion may also be an 'end point' in the sense of definition (2) — <br/>such criteria are often calculated on the basis of a level of 'dose' or 'risk' that is <br/>considered acceptable — but its application to the actual 'decontamination' or <br/>'remediation' 'operations' is in the sense of definition (3).)<br/>" (en)
