I guess many people like myself disagree with the use of this seemingly arbitrary category. Maybe it is based on an estimate of total long-term and predicted impact on the immediate environment compared to some threshold? And what probability does it use for future containment leakage?
As far as I can tell, so far the "Level 7" category is useful mainly to cite in this very argument. Surely we can do better, are there at least some individual score factors?
