Nuclear Foundational Training: Learn the Basics of the Regulatory Process

Last month, we asked our audience What is the name of the disaster scale used to classify the severity of nuclear accidents? Overall, the most voted for answer was the International Nuclear Event Scale at 68 percent of the vote. Tied in second place was the Richter Scale and Fujita Scale at 12 percent. Finally, the Saffir-Simpson Scale received the least amount of votes at 7 percent.

The correct answer is the International Nuclear Event Scale. The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale was introduced in 1990 by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is a tool for communicating the safety significance of nuclear and radiological events to the public. Member States use INES on a voluntary basis to rate and communicate events that occur within their territory.
