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 exceed 10 -6 /yr. The consequences of beyond extremely unlikely accidents may be found
in the respective accident scenario and Appendix E.
