Confirmed public fact
Physical work
Define the disturbance area and characterize the conditions that later work must respect.
Evidence work
Keep site assumptions, environmental boundaries, and interface responsibilities traceable.

Public-record boundary

A location and early site basis are public. Detailed site-design outputs are not.

Method and limits

Public evidence is not a construction schedule.

The first five stages are bounded by public early-work records. DOE safety-basis work, NRC pre-application activity, and the A3F fuel pathway progress on different evidence streams. Later details are deliberately marked as inference or unknown.
