°Õ³ó±ðÌý is a tool developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is supposed to facilitate communication and understanding of events related to ionizing radiation. INES is a logarithmic, seven-step scale. Events are classified on the seven-level scale: Levels 1–3 are called "incidents" and Levels 4–7, "accidents". The scale is designed so that the severity of an event is about ten times greater for each increase in level on the scale. INES scale: 1 = anomaly, 2 = incident, 3 = serious incident, 4 = accident with local consequences, 5 = accidents with wider consequences; 6 = serious accident, 7 = major accident.

Significant events registered on the INES in France 2011-2023
In 2023, events rated on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) occurred in France. This value has increased since 2010. The events involving the exposure to ionizing radiation included a lack of safety measures in basic nuclear installations, insufficient protection in small-scale nuclear activities, such as research in the medical and industrial sector, and the transportation of radioactive material.
