Background information provided via personal communications with Dr. Robert L. Bratton, member of the BPV III Subgroup on Graphite Core Components
.
66.
The Subgroup on Graphite Core Components decided to define ‘construction’ differently than Division 1 as “All operations required to build the Graphite Core Assembly (manufacture materials, machine Graphite Core Components and install) in accordance with Design Drawings and the Construction Specification.” Hence, design and construction are two distinct terms for graphite
