SUBJECT:

FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. MC8946)

Dear Ms. Elliott:

By letter dated September 30, 2005, Omaha Public Power District submitted an affidavit dated September 1, 2005, executed by Gayle F. Elliott, Manager, Product Licensing in Regulatory Affairs, Framatome ANP Inc., requesting that the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390:

BAW-2502(P), Revision 0, Realistic Large Break LOCA [Loss-of-Coolant Accident] Summary Report A nonproprietary copy of the document was provided for placement in the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Public Document Room and for addition 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:

(a)

The information reveals details of FANPs research and development plans and programs or their results.

(b)

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.

(c)

The information includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for FANP.

(d)

The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for FANP in product optimization or marketability.

(e)

The information is vital to a competitive advantage held by FANP, would be helpful to competitors to FANP, and would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of FANP.

G. Elliot Therefore, the information in the document entitled, BAW-2502(P), Revision 0, <Realistic Large Break LOCA Summary Report, 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) 415-1445.

Sincerely,

/RA/
