Subject:
Supplement to License Amendment Request for Extended Power Uprate
Reference:
- 1) Letter from George P. Barnes (PSEG Nuclear LLC) to USNRC, September 18, 2006
- 3) Letter from George P. Barnes (PSEG Nuclear LLC) to USNRC, March 22, 2007 In Reference 1, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License NPF-57 and the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Hope Creek Generating Station to increase the maximum authorized power level to 3840 megawatts thermal (MWt). 5 to Reference 1 provided a Hope Creek specific supplement to GE Licensing Topical Report NEDC-33173P based on a preliminary extended power uprate (EPU) core design for Cycle 15. The legacy fuel in the preliminary design consisted of 192 thrice or more burned SVEA 96+ bundles. As demonstrated in Section 2.0, of the Hope Creek report, the EPU values for the key metrics of the legacy SVEA 96+ fuel were consistent with the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) core values, thereby demonstrating that the legacy fuel would effectively operate at pre-EPU conditions, consistent with the current operational experience. to this letter provides similar comparisons for the legacy fuel in the actual cycle 15 core design.

The header of those pages that contain proprietary information in Enclosure 1, which is entitled, Slides for Key Metric Comparison Actual Cycle 15 Core Design, carries the notation "GEH Proprietary Information." The complete chart on each of those pages so marked is proprietary. Paragraph 3 of this affidavit provides the basis for the proprietary determination.
(3) In making this application for" withholding of-proprietary information of which it .is -the owner or licensee, GEH relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5.USC Sec. 552(b)(4), and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC Sec. 1905, and NRC regulations 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), and 2.390(a)(4) for "trade secrets" (Exemption 4). The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought .also qualify under the narrower definition of "trade secret", within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOIA Exemption 4 in, respectively, Critical Mass Energy, Proiect v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 975F2d871 (DC Cir. 1992), and Public Citizen Health Research Group v. FDA, 704F2d1280 (DC Cir. 1983).
(4) Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:
- a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GEH's competitors without license from GEH constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;
- b. Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product;
- c. Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future GEH customer-funded development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to GEH;
- d. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.
Affidavit GE-HCGS-EPU-676 Key Metric Slides Affidavit Page I of 3
The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (4)a. and (4)b. above.
(5) To address 10 CFR 2.390(b)(4), the information sought to be withheld is being submitted to NRC in confidence. The information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GEH, and is in fact so held. The information sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by GEH, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures to third parties, including any required transmittals to NRC, have been made, or must be made, pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence. Its initial designation as proprietary information, and the subsequent steps taken to prevent its unauthorized disclosure, are as set forth in paragraphs (6) and (7) following.
(6) Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the manager of the originating component, the person most 'likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge, or subject to the terms under which it was licensed to GEH. Access to such documents within GEH is. limited on a "need to know" basis.. .
(7). The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically. requires review by "the'staff manager, project manager, principal scientist, "or other equivalent authority for S tecfihical content, competitive effect, and determination of the accu'-acy 6f the proprietary designation. Disclosures outside GEH are limited to regulatory bodies, customers, and
" potential'cust6mers, and their agents, suppliers, -and licensees, and dthers with a legitimate need for the information, and then only ini' accordance with: appropriate regulatory
- i. provisions or proprietary agreements.
(8) The information identified in paragraph (2) above is classified as proprietary because it.
contains results and conclusions regarding GEH Methods supporting evaluations of the safety-significant changes necessary to demonstrate the regulatory acceptability for the expanded power/flow operating domains including Extended Power Uprates for a BWR, using analytical models and methods, including computer codes, which GE has developed, obtained NRC approval of, and applied to perform evaluations of transient and accident events in the GEH Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). The development of the evaluation process along with the interpretation and application of the analytical results is derived from the extensive experience database that constitutes a major GEH asset.
(9) Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to GEH's competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities. The information is part of GEH's comprehensive BWR safety and technology base, and its commercial value extends beyond the original development cost.
The value of the technology base goes beyond the extensive physical database and analytical methodology and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process. In addition, the technology base includes the value derived from providing analyses done with NRC-approved methods.
Affidavit GE-HCGS-EPU-676 Key Metric Slides Affidavit Page 2 of 3
- D The research, development, engineering, analytical and NRC review costs comprise a substantial investment of time and money by GEH.
The precise value of the expertise to devise an evaluation process and apply the correct analytical methodology is difficult to quantify, but it clearly is substantial.
GEH's competitive advantage will be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of the GEH experience to normalize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim: an:,
equivalent, understanding. by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or -similar,:
conclusions.
The value of this information to GEH would be lost if the information were disclosed to the public. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall, and deprive GEH of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek .an adequate return on its large investment in developing and obtaining these very valuable analytical tools.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing affidavit and the matters stated.therein are true and correct to the best ofmyknowledgeinformation, and belief.

ATTACHMENT 2, Hope Creek Generating Station Facility Operating License NPF-57 Docket No. 50-354 Extended Power Uprate Supplement to License Amendment Request In Reference 1, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License NPF-57 and the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) to increase the maximum authorized power level to 3840 megawatts thermal (MWt). 5 to Reference 1 provided a Hope Creek specific supplement to GE Licensing Topical Report NEDC-33173P based on a preliminary extended power uprate (EPU) core design for Cycle 15. The legacy fuel in the preliminary design consisted of 192 thrice or more burned SVEA 96+ bundles. As demonstrated in Section 2.0, of the Hope Creek specific report, the EPU values for the key metrics of the legacy SVEA 96+
fuel were consistent with the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) core values, thereby demonstrating that the legacy fuel would effectively operate at pre-EPU conditions, consistent with the current operational experience.
The actual Cycle 15 core design contains 216 SVEA 96+ bundles, eight of which are twice burned. The remainder of the SVEA 96+ bundles are thrice or more burned.
Comparisons of key parameter predictions for the actual Cycle 15 core design to the EPU Reference Plant experience base are provided below. The updated comparisons demonstrate that, for the actual Cycle 15 EPU core, the legacy fuel will effectively operate at pre-EPU conditions, consistent with the current operational experience and the information previously provided in Attachment 15 to Reference 1. The introduction of the eight twice burned SVEA-96+ fuel assemblies did not alter the trends in any manner that would change the conclusions of Attachment 15 to Reference 1.
