The TN NUHOMS[supreg] CoC provides requirements, conditions, and operating limits in Attachment A, Technical Specifications.

In lieu of this requirement, CP&L stated that the TC/DSC will not be lifted higher than 80 inches when not being handled by devices that meet the existing 10 CFR Part 50 license heavy load requirements.
