SUBJECT:

CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NO.3 - REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. ME0023)

Dear Mr. Young:

By letter dated March 12, 2009, you submitted an affidavit dated March 9, 2009, executed by Gayle F. Elliot, Manager of 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:

55-WP1-8-43-F430L TBSCa3-003, "Welding Procedure Specification," August 2008, 55-WP8-8-F6AW3-07, "Welding Procedure Specification, " February 2007, 55-PQ5394-002, "Procedure Qualification Record, " June 2007, 55-PQ7062-004, "Procedure Qualification Record," January 2006, 55-PQ7200-00{ "Procedure Qualification Record," August 2007, 55-PQ7213-001, "Procedure Qualification Record," August 2007, and 55-PQ7214-001, "Procedure Qualification Record," July 2007.

The affidavit 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 in 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.

D. Young

- 2 We have reviewed your application 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 above submitted documents 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 301-415-1447.

Sincerely, Farideh E. Saba, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 11-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-302 cc: Distribution via Listserv
