January 14, 2008 Mr. Timothy G. Mitchell Vice President, Operations Arkansas Nuclear One Entergy Operations, Inc.
1448 S. R. 333 Russellville, AR 72802
SUBJECT:
ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC., REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1
Dear Mr. Mitchell:
At a meeting on August 29, 2007, Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee), provided an affidavit dated August 23, 2007, executed by Gayle F. Elliott, AREVA NP Inc. Entergy 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 390:
NRC Presentation Results of the First ISI [Inservice Inspection], Root Cause and Operability Sections (Slides 23 - 123) of the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Steam Generators (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML072420257)
A nonproprietary copy of the document (ADAMS Accession No. ML072420379) has been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
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 AREVA NP.
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.
T. Mitchell 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 301-415-1445.
Sincerely,
/RA by Michael T. Markley for Alan Wang/
