Dear George:
Attached, please find GNFs verified responses to the NRC Supplemental RAIs 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the FitzPatrick Cycle 20 SLMCPR Submittal.

Please note that Enclosures 1 and 3 contain proprietary information of the type that GNF maintains in confidence and withholds from public disclosure. The information has been handled and classified as proprietary to GNF as indicated in the enclosed affidavit. The affidavit contained in Enclosure 4 identifies that the information contained in Enclosures 1 and 3 have been handled and classified as proprietary to GNF. GNF hereby requests that the information in Enclosures 1 and 3 be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390 and 9.17. Enclosure 2 is a non-proprietary version of Enclosure 1. Enclosure 3 contains specific information discussed at the NRC Audit on August 10, 2010. Because the information in Enclosure 3 is of a type not normally submitted for NRC review, it is deemed proprietary in its entirety and no non-proprietary version is provided.
RA-ENO-EP1-10-135 Page 2 of 2 GNF requests that any transmittal of this proprietary information to the NRC be accompanied by the enclosed affidavit and proprietary notice. In order to maintain the applicability of the affidavit and to meet the requirements of 10CFR2.390, the transmittal to the NRC should:
- 1) Faithfully reproduce the proprietary information,
- 2) Preserve the proprietary annotations, and
- 3) Include the words similar to GNF Proprietary Information at the top of first page and each page containing the proprietary information.
Further, 10CFR2.390 requires that the proprietary information be incorporated, as far as possible into a separate paper. Therefore, Enclosures 1 and 3 hereto contain the proprietary information, and the non-proprietary and redacted information is provided in Enclosure 2.
Based on past discussions with the NRC, GNF has been encouraged to request its customers to provide a paragraph similar to the following in the customer letters transmitting proprietary information to the NRC in order to clearly indicate the proprietary nature of the information and to document the source of the proprietary information as indicated in the GNF affidavit.
The enclosed RAI responses contain proprietary information as defined by 10CFR2.390.
GNF, as the owner of the proprietary information, has executed the enclosed affidavit, which identify that the enclosed proprietary information has been handled and classified as proprietary, is customarily held in confidence, and has been withheld from public disclosure.
The proprietary information was provided to Entergy Nuclear Northeast in a GNF transmittal that is referenced by the affidavit. The proprietary information has been faithfully reproduced in the enclosed RAI responses such that the affidavit remains applicable. GNF hereby requests that the enclosed proprietary information be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR2.390 and 9.17. A non-proprietary version of the RAI responses also is provided.
The verified inputs associated with these RAI responses are included eDRF Sections 0000-0108-3676, 0000-0122-1518, and 0000-0122-3282. A signed copy of this letter is also included in eDRF Section 0000-0108-3702 R1. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
