Incident/Accident

Some years ago, in Romania we had those two terms very well defined:

Accident=event which affects the persons of the public

Incident=event which does not affect the public

I do not know if the new law is using the same terminology but this is a

good way of using the two words, when describing radiological events. I

always assumed this was coming from the IAEA recommendations.
