To be or not to be

Your comment on Regulation UK x USA was really interesting, but could you also 
comment about the two following topics, in the Roger Gelder description:


1)..."accidents, incidents"...

 What are both concepts according with  the UK regulations?
Reason:  In UK they mention:"The Radiological Incident in Goiania"  however
in Goiania occurred,  certainly,  a Radiological Accident...


2)Inspectors in the UK now have powers, after a visit, to 
     (i)   advise on recommended improvements (ALARP)
     (ii) if ignored, issue Improvement warnings, and
    (iii) if all else fails, issue Prohibition notices, stopping particular 
           practices.

 " stopping particular practices"

In UK regulations there are no proposal of fine (monetary penalty)?
