Frequency Definition:

(0) = No record of occurrence.

(1) = Occurred once every century.

(2) = Occurred once every 50 to 99 years.

(3) = Occurred multiple times within 50+ years.

(4) = Occurred every ten years.

(5) = Occurred multiple times every ten years.

Potential Impact Definitions:

(0) NONE = No impact to facility, staff, resources, or operations.

(1) LOW (NEGLIGIBLE) = Lowest impact to facility, staff, resources, or operations; unlikely to have an adverse affect upon site normal operations (or in the area - region).

(2) MINOR = Low impact; potential to alter some operations and resource usage, possible outsource work to other sites; small affect upon site normal operations (or in the area - region).

(3) MAJOR = Noticeable impact; key operations and resource usage altered, delays to studies and reporting results; outsource work to other sites; current studies delayed, rescheduled, transferred or cancelled; visible affect upon site normal operations (or in the area - region).

(4) CRITICAL = Sizable impact; broad operational and resource alteration; outsource work to other sites; current and future studies delayed, rescheduled, transferred or cancelled; big effect upon site normal operations (or in the area – region).

(5) CATASTROPHIC = Huge impact; extensive operational and resource alteration; outsource work to other sites; current and future studies transferred or cancelled; staff telecommute, teleconference or moved to new site location; cascading affect upon site operations (or in the area - region).

Likelihood Definitions:

(1) Unlikely to occur.

(2) Somewhat likely to occur.

(3) Likely to occur.
