included in the UE amendment application was an affidavit dated October 22,1998, executed by you for Framatome Technologies incorporated (FTI), which requested that all the documents included in the amendment application be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. This affidavit was amended in a subsequent letter from UE dated February 25,1999, to identify that only the two above listed documents, included in the amendment application, should be withheld from public disclosure. A non-proprietary version of document #2 was provided in the amendment application for placement in the public document room. A non-proprietary version of document #1 was subsequently provided by UE letter dated November 13,1998 for placement in the public document room.

"b. The information reveals data or material concerning FTl research or development plans or programs of present or potential competitive advantage to FTI.

time or resources, in designing, producing or mtrketing a similar product. ( O d. The information consists of test data or other similar data concerning a process, method or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage to FTI.
