ACTIVITY TITLE: Thermal Verification ID: TCS-01 APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS: L.10.4.13.1 DESCRIPTION: The determination of the impact of NOBL installation is expected to be ongoing for Bays 5, 7 and 8, likely through and past the SMOV period. ... Bays 5 and 8 are expected to have greater impact following successful installation of the NOBL-ER. Since the changes are not expected to have critical impacts, no specific thermal verification is really warranted for the SMOV period. ...
