skos:definition "Any unintended 'event', including operating errors, equipment 'failures', <br/>
'initiating events', 'accident precursors', 'near misses' or other mishaps, or <br/>unauthorized act, 'malicious' or non-malicious, the consequences or potential <br/>consequences of which are not negligible from the point of view of <i>protection<br/></i>or 'safety'.<br/>
See also 'event' and 'INES'.<br/>
<b>!</b> The <br/>
word <br/>
'incident' is often used, in 'INES' and elsewhere, to describe 'events'<br/>
that are, in effect, minor 'accidents', i.e. that are distinguished from <i>accidents<br/></i>only in terms of being less severe. This is a distinction with little basis in <br/>normal usage. An 'incident' can be minor or major, just as an 'accident' can, but <br/>unlike an 'accident', an 'incident' can be caused intentionally.<br/>This definition of 'incident' was derived on the basis of the entries for <i>accident<br/></i>and 'event' and the explanation of the term 'incident' given in Ref. [22].<br/>
<i><b>nuclear incident.</b></i> [Any occurrence or series of occurrences having the <br/>same origin which causes 'nuclear damage' or, but only with respect to <br/>'preventive measures', creates a grave and imminent threat of causing such <br/>damage.] (From Ref. [25].)<br/>
<b>!</b> This usage is specific to the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for <br/>
Nuclear Damage [25], for the purposes of the Convention, and should <br/>otherwise be avoided.<br/>
<i><b>serious incident.</b></i> See 'INES'.<br/>" (en)
