By letters dated June 28, 2004 and June 25, 2004 (ADAMS Accession Nos.

ML041840109 and ML041840301), TVA submitted license amendment applications to NRC for the EPU of BFN Unit 1 and BFN Units 2 and 3, respectively. The proposed amendments would change the operating licenses to increase the maximum authorized core thermal power level of each reactor by approximately 14 percent to 3952 megawatts. provides the response for draft Round 23 RAI EMCB.203/164 (Unit 2 plots).

The responses to three draft Round 23 RAIs associated with submodeling (EMCB.201/162, EMCB.166, and EMCB.167) were provided by letter dated January 9, 2009. The responses to three draft Round 23 RAIs regarding signal processing associated with the steam dryer analyses for EPU (EMCB.202/163, EMCB.203/164 -

Unit 1 plots, and EMCB.165) were provided by letter dated January 16, 2009. The schedule for providing the response to the remaining draft Round 23 RAI (EMCB.204/168) is being developed and will be discussed with the NRC staff.

Note that Enclosure 1 contains information that Continuum Dynamics, Inc. (CDI) considers to be proprietary in nature and subsequently, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4), CDI requests that such information be withheld from public disclosure. Enclosure 3 provides an affidavit from CDI supporting this request. Enclosure 2 contains the redacted version of the proprietary enclosure with the CDI proprietary material removed, which is suitable for public disclosure.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 January 23, 2009 TVA has determined that the additional information provided by this letter does not affect the no significant hazards considerations associated with the proposed TS changes. The proposed TS changes still qualify for a categorical exclusion from environmental review pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

No new regulatory commitments are made in this submittal. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (256)729-2636.

EXTENDED POWER UPRATE (EPU) - RESPONSE TO ROUND 23 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) EMCB.203/164 REGARDING STEAM DRYER SIGNAL PROCESSING (TAC NOS. MD5262, MD5263, AND MD5264)

I, Barbara A. Agans, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:

I. I hold the position of Director, Business Administration of Continuum Dynamics, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as C.D.I.), and I am authorized to make the request for withholding from Public Record the Information contained in the documents described in Paragraph 2. This Affidavit is submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4) based on the fact that the attached information consists of trade secret(s) of C.D.I. and that the NRC will receive the information from C.D.I. under privilege and in confidence.

2. The Information sought to be withheld, as transmitted to TVA Browns Ferry as attachment to C.D.I. Letter No. 09008 dated 22 January 2009, BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BEN) - UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ("I'S) CHANGES TS-418 AND TS-431 - EXTENDED POWER UPRATE1 (EPU) - RESPONSE TO ROUND 23 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) EMCB.203/164 REGARDING STEAM DRYER SIGNAL PROCESSING (TAC NOS. MD5262, MD5263, AND MD5264).
3. The Information summarizes:

(a) a. process or method, including supporting data and analysis, where prevention of its use by C.D.I.'s competitors without license from C.D.I. constitutes a competitive advantage over other companies; (b) information which, if used 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 ofa sim.i lar product; (c) Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.

The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for tile reasons set forth in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) above.

4. The Information has been held in confidence by C.D.I., its owner. Tile Information has consistently been held in confidence by C.D.I. and no public disclosure has been made and it is not available to the public. All disclosures to third parties, which have been limited, have been made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in C.D.I.'s Nondisclosure Secrecy Agreement which must be fully executed prior to disclosure.
5. The Information is a type customarily held in confidence by C.D.l. and there is a rational basis therefore. The Information is a type, which C.D.L. considers trade secret and is held in confidence by C.D.I. because it constitutes a source of competitive advantage in the competition and performance of such work in the industry. Public disclosure of the Information is likely to cause substantial harm to C.D.I.'s competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing affidavit and the matters stated therein are true and correct to be the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

Executed on this < day of V*-c;.-
