September 5, 2002 Mr. H.A. Sepp Manager, Regulatory and Licensing Engineering Westinghouse Electric Company Nuclear Services P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, PA 15230-0355

SUBJECT:

KEWAUNEE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. MB5718)

Dear Mr. Sepp:

By letter dated July 22, 2002, Westinghouse Electric Company submitted an affidavit dated July 22, 2002, executed by H. A. Sepp. You requested that the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.790:

Westinghouse Revised Thermal Design Procedure Instrument Uncertainty Methodology -

Kewaunee Nuclear Plant (Power Uprate to 1757 MWt-NSSS Power with Feedwater Venturis and 54F Replacement Steam Generators), Westinghouse WCAP-15591, Revision 0 dated July 2002.

A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRCs) public document room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

(4)(ii)(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouses competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.

(4)(ii)(c) Its use 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 a similar product.

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.

H. A. Sepp Therefore, the version(s) 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. Also, you 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 301-415-1446.

Sincerely,

/RA/
