September 17, 2008 Charles G. Pardee Chief Nuclear Officer and Senior Vice President Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MD9414 AND MD9415)
Dear Mr. Pardee:
By letter dated July 25, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML082110187), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee),
submitted AREVA affidavits dated June 23, 2008, executed by Gayle F. Elliott, Manager, Product Licensing for AREVA NP Inc., and July 25, 2008, executed by George L. Pannell, Manager Product Licensing for AREVA NP Inc., 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:
Transmittal of LPRM Calibration Uncertainty Analysis for 2000 EFPH Calibration Interval, FAB07-2078, dated February 9, 2007, and the letter from AREVA NP Inc.
(D. B. McBurney) to Exelon Corporation (Carols de la Hoz) entitled Transmittal of LaSalle LPRM Calibration Extension - Additional Analysis Result, FAB08-2327, dated May 30, 2008 (Attachment 4 to Letter dated July 25, 2008)
AREVA NP information contained in ANP-2739P Revision 1, entitled, LaSalle LPRM Calibration Extension - Additional Analysis Result, (Attachment 5 to letter dated July 25, 2008)
Non-proprietary copies of AREVA LPRM Calibration Uncertainty Analyses for 2000 EFPH Calibration Interval, (Attachment 7), and LaSalle LPRM Calibration Extension - Additional Analysis Result, (Attachment 8) have been placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's or Commissions) Public Document Room and added to the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room.
The affidavits stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(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 AREVA NP.
C.
The NRC staff has reviewed your applications and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
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 can be reached at 301-415-3154.
Sincerely,
/RA/
