Nomination of Nuclear Accident Magnitude Scale for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nuclear Accident Magnitude Scale, which is related to and cited in this article, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nuclear Accident Magnitude Scale until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Second (1958) Chalk River incident should also be in this list

My guess is that the 1958 incident would be level 4, but I have not been able to find any source that confirms this. (Fuel rod was damaged and caught fire, reactor was damaged, interior of building + 0.4 sq km contaminated.) https://www.nuclearfaq.ca/cnf_sectionD.htm#nru1958

Note that the List of civilian nuclear accidents article lists it as level 5, but this may be due to a misreading of the following source discussing the 1952 incident: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph241/zerkalov1/docs/mukhopadhyay.pdf KaiaVintr (talk) 18:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need more examples in the table; we already arguably have too many. VQuakr (talk) 18:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion is based on the fact that Sellafield appears in the list eight times, and calling the Chalk River accident the "first" naturally makes people wonder about the others. But anyway, if no reference can be found for the rating, then not much can be done. KaiaVintr (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Samut Prakan radiation accident should be on the list, no?

-Why is there no mention of [[Church Rock uranium mill spill]] or the meltdown of the  [[Sodium Reactor Experiment]] at the [[Santa Susana Field Laboratory]]?  Church Rock was at least level 4 if not 5. It released more radiation than Three Mile Island.

-:This isn't intended to be an exhaustive list; some examples are given. Incidentally, if either of those accidents was ever assigned an INES rating, it doesn't appear to be listed in either article. [[User:VQuakr|VQuakr]] ([[User talk:VQuakr|talk]]) 01:35, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
