    "abstract": "We study, in the multipolar coupling scheme, a uniformly accelerated\nmultilevel hydrogen atom in interaction with the quantum electromagnetic field\nnear a conducting boundary and separately calculate the contributions of the\nvacuum fluctuation and radiation reaction to the rate of change of the mean\natomic energy. It is found that the perfect balance between the contributions\nof vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction that ensures the stability of\nground-state atoms is disturbed, making spontaneous transition of ground-state\natoms to excited states possible in vacuum with a conducting boundary. The\nboundary-induced contribution is effectively a nonthermal correction, which\nenhances or weakens the nonthermal effect already present in the unbounded\ncase, thus possibly making the effect easier to observe. An interesting feature\nworth being noted is that the nonthermal corrections may vanish for atoms on\nsome particular trajectories.",
