March 24, 2005 Mr. George B. Stramback General Electric Company 175 Curtner Avenue San Jose, CA 95125

SUBJECT:

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, AND QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MC5160, MC5161, MC5162 AND MC5163)

Dear Mr. Stramback:

By letter dated March 8, 2005, Exelon Generation Company submitted an affidavit dated March 4, 2005, executed by you. In the affidavit you requested that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:

GE Proprietary Report GE-NE-0000-0011-0531-R3, Dresden and Quad Cities Neutron Flux Evaluation, Revision 3, Class III, dated March 2005 The nonproprietary version of this document has been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information sought to be withheld is considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

1. The information was submitted to the NRC in confidence

2. The information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GE, and was in fact so held

3. The information has been held in confidence by GE consistently and is not available in public sources

4. Public disclosure of the information, which is considered trade secret, is likely to cause substantial harm to GEs competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 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.

G. Stramback Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(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 301-415-2277.

Sincerely,

/RA/
