1 The term “Accident” in this glossary implies an event with radiological consequences.
2 In the Russian version of the IAEA Glossary a less accurate translation of the term “Accident conditions” is used – «аварийные условия».
3 For RS and RW
4 For nuclear materials
5 For nuclear materials
6 In SI, the unit of activity is Becquerel (Bq).
7 Unit of specific activity is Becquerel per kilogram, Bq/kg
8 Unit of volumetric activity is Becquerel per cubic meter, Bq/m3.
9 In the framework of quality assurance activities
10 For nuclear materials
11 For RS and RW
12 In SI units, absorbed dose is measured in Joules by kilogram (J∙kg-1) and is known under a special name – Grey (Gy). The earlier used non-system unit Rad equals 0.01 Gy.
13 The measurement unit of effective dose is Sivert (Sv).
14 The measurement unit of yearly effective dose is Sivert (Sv).
15 The measurement unit of effective collective dose is man-Sivert (man-Sv).
16 Equivalent dose unit is Sivert (Sv)
17 Equivalent yearly dose unit is Sivert (Sv)
18 In case of fire.
19 For PSA.
20 Of machinery or equipment
21 The term “Lead material science organization” will be replaced by the term “material science organization” during revision of PNAE G-010-89.
22 Of CPS executive mechanism
23 On-site
24 For leaktight enclosure (containment)
