Reports
For OTHEA, incidents reports are selected on the basis of the value of sharing the lessons learned. Therefore, a broad variety of incidents may be included: not just incidents and accidents, but also any situation, event, behaviour or anomaly with the potential to cause an unplanned radiation exposure, or a significant decrease in the existing standard of radiation protection. This could include “near misses”, contamination spills (whether people wer exposed or not) as well as more serious radiological incidents.
OTHEA does not include nuclear, or nuclear-related, incidents.
