The IAEA’s INES classification, while making great progress, is not always satisfactory, and therefore several proposals exist to classify the severity of nuclear accidents. In particular, the three main classification criteria of the INES cannot be applied to radioprotection, i.e. the protection of individuals against ionizing radiation. Similarly, the INES classification does not take sufficient account of the quantities of radionuclides released into the environment.
