Notes: (1) Listed accidents are those whose unmitigated frequency, as derived in Appendix D, is >10 -6 /yr and accidents whose quantification of the active
components caused the frequency to exceed 10 -6 /yr. The consequences of beyond extremely unlikely accidents may be found in the respective
accident scenario.
(2) The unmitigated frequency is as derived from the event tree (Appendix D)
1 REM = .01 Sv
