(b) Check whether any feed water heater is to be mounted in the

condenser neck. For such heater, check whether tube bundle
removal fixture and temporary intermediate tube bundle
supports required to be used during heater maintenance are
included.

(c) Flow diagram/sketches wherever necessary to define scope.
