"... then the nozzle loads are probably acceptable."
"Is this correct"

Probably.

Now, we fully expect you to be willing to stand with your face next to that particular nozzle for the next decade or so while that vessel is in service.

Except it's not that simple. You're asking us if it's ok to keep your face up to any and all nozzles based on this assumption.

I'm not willing to say yes to this question. Any number of things could have gone wrong from the beginning to the end, and that you're being asked to qualify something you don't even have real numbers for only proves that something HAS gone wrong.
