    Sellafield incident report – bottle spillage

    During routine sampling work in a Sellafield drum filling area, a bottle containing uranium trioxide powder accidentally fell to the floor causing approximately 100-150g to spill out.

    The operator handling the samples was wearing the correct personal protective equipment and the correct safety procedures were followed.

    There was no personal contamination or ingestion by the operator and the contamination was contained in the immediate work area. An investigation has been carried out, and we are now considering the actions required to address the findings.

    The event has been rated 0 (anomaly) on the International Nuclear Events Scale

    Sellafield is regulated by the Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency

    I am worried that whoever originally issued the press release does know the INES ratings

    Is this a level 0 event or an anomaly?
    Lets hope that they get it right if something serious happens

    Level 7: Major accident
    Level 6: Serious accident
    Level 5: Accident with wider consequences
    Level 4: Accident with local consequences
    Level 3: Serious incident
    Level 2: Incident
