Scope of This Article
In listing military nuclear accidents, the following criteria have been adopted:
- There must be well-attested and substantial health damage, property damage or contamination.
- The damage must be related directly to radioactive material, not merely (for example) at a nuclear power plant.
- To qualify as "military", the nuclear operation/material must be principally for military purposes.
- To qualify as "accident", the damage should not be intentional, unlike in nuclear warfare.
