March 29, 2006 Mr. Christopher M. Crane, President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
EXELON GENERATION 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. MC7323, MC7324, MC7325 AND MC7326)
Dear Mr. Crane:
By letters to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated January 26, February 22, and March 3, 2006, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) submitted affidavits dated January 25, February 22, and March 1, 2006, respectively. These affidavits were executed by J. A. Gresham, Manager, Regulatory Compliance and Plant Licensing; R. B. Sisk, Manager, Fuel Engineering Licensing; and B. F. Maurer, Acting Manager, Regulatory Compliance and Plant Licensing; Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (Westinghouse), respectively, requesting that the information contained in the following documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
NF-BEX-06-15 P-Attachment - Attachment 2 to EGC Letter to the NRC, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2, Additional Information Supporting Request for License Amendment Regarding Transition to Westinghouse Fuel Letter, dated January 26, 2006 NF-BEX-06-8 P, Revision 1 - Attachment 1 to EGC Letter to the NRC, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2, Additional Information Supporting Request for License Amendment Regarding Transition to Westinghouse Fuel Letter, dated February 22, 2006 NF-BEX-06-63 P-Attachment - Attachment 1 to EGC Letter to the NRC, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2, Additional Information Supporting Request for License Amendment Regarding Transition to Westinghouse Fuel Letter, dated March 3, 2006 Nonproprietary copies of these documents have been placed in the NRC's Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.
C. Crane The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(i)
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.
(ii)
The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public.
(a)
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b)
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 2.390 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.
Therefore, the versions of NF-BEX-06-15 P-Attachment, NF-BEX-06-8 P, Revision 1, and NF-BEX-06-63 P-Attachment, 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.
C. Crane If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at (301) 415-2277.
Sincerely,
/RA/
