Create a possibility for an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated in the NAC-UMS FSAR.

  • Create a possibility for a malfunction of a SSC important to safety with a different result than any previously evaluated in the NAC-UMS FSAR.
  • A design basis limit for a fission product barrier as described in the NAC-UMS FSAR being exceeded or altered.
  • A departure from a method of evaluation described in the NAC-UMS FSAR used in establishing the design bases or in the safety analyses.
