Nuclear Incident

A nuclear incident occurs when there is an unintended release of radiation or radioactive materials from a nuclear facility, such as a power plant or research site. This can happen due to equipment failure, human error, or natural disasters, leading to potential health and environmental risks. While some incidents are minor and contain the release safely, others can cause more significant contamination and require emergency response measures. The primary goal is to prevent radiation exposure to people and the environment, and incidents are thoroughly investigated to improve safety protocols for the future.
