Additional information is provided below.

This notice expands the number of Full-Time Equivalent employees at RESL who are performing these activities in the Draft PWS to include contracted activities being performed by 9 contractor-equivalent positions performed by Battelle Energy Alliance, the Management and Operating Contractor at the Idaho National Laboratory, to support RESL.
