Nuclear Events Web-based System (NEWS) is a communication tool linked to INES. It is an online repository of the INES rating reports, hence provides information about the INES rated events. The IAEA hosts and administers the system, but event reports are filed and updated by countries. which are using INES for reporting events and which remain responsible for all related content. The information available include: event description, INES rating, related technical information and press releases. It is important to note that NEWS is not an emergergency channel and is not used for signalling warnings or triggering response actions in nuclear or radiological emergencies.
