Incident 60
Incident 60 : Any unintended event, including operating errors, equipment failures, initiating events, accident precursors, near misses or other mishaps, or unauthorized act, malicious or non-malicious, the consequences or potential consequences of which are not negligible from the point of view of protection or safety. See also: Event and INES. The word incident is often used, in INES and elsewhere, to describe events that are, in effect, minor accidents, i.e. that are distinguished from accidents only in terms of being less severe. This is an arbitrary distinction with little basis in normal usage. An incident can be minor or major, just as an accident can, but unlike an accident, an incident can be caused intentionally. The existing misuses of incident, such as INES, cannot be eliminated, but new examples should not be created
