July 22, 2002 Mr. John L. Skolds, President Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 1 - REQUEST TO WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. MB4747)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
By Exelon Generation Company, LLCs (EGCs) letter dated July 3, 2002, which included Framatome ANPs (FRA-ANPs) affidavit dated July 1, 2002, executed by J. S. Holm, you submitted supplemental information for EGCs license amendment request dated April 8, 2002, for Quad Cities Unit 1 Cycle 17A Safety Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR), and requested that Attachment A (Supplemental Information in Response to Question 2 of Q1C17A SLMCPR RAIs") be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. Your letter also provided Attachment B, a nonproprietary version of Attachment A. Attachment B has been placed in the NRC public document room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems Publicly Available Records System (ADAMS PARS) Library.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The information reveals details of FRA-ANPs research and development plans and programs or their results.
Use of the information by a competitor would permit the competitor to significantly reduce its expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service.
The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for FRA-ANP.
The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for FRA-ANP in product optimization or marketability.
The information is vital to a competitive advantage held by FRA-ANP, would be helpful to competitors to FRA-ANP, and would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of FRA-ANP.
J. Skolds We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, Attachment A of the submitted information, marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-2296.
Sincerely,
/RA/
