 DISCLAIMER:
It is not appropriate to use the information made available to compare safety performance between countries. Each country has different arrangements for reporting minor events (level 0 and 1) to the public and to the INES Information Service. For events at level 2 or above, the statistically small number of such events, which also varies from year to year, makes it difficult to provide meaningful international comparison. NEWS is also not suitable for statistical analysis; information on events older than 6 months are not available. Please also note that events are posted in the system by the participating countries of the INES information system.
