SUBJECT:
ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 -REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF CRANE AND HEAVY LOADS AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. J00433 AND J00434)
Dear Mr. Christian:
ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS) letter dated July 19, 2012, requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) withhold as proprietary information, documents to be provided in an electronic reading room (eRoom) supporting the proposed license amendment to approve methods of analysis, use of the upgraded fuel handling building crane system as a single-failure proof crane, and a NUREG 0612 compliant heavy loads handling program. The request included a Konecranes Nuclear Equipment and Services Proprietary Information Affidavit. The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
i)
This information is owned and maintained as proprietary by Konecranes at its facilities, ii)
This information is routinely maintained as proprietary by contract on each project and not disclosed to the public.
iii)
This information is being requested to be held in confidence by the NRC by this
- petition, iv)
This information is not available in public sources, and v)
This information would cause substantial harm to Konecranes if it were released publicly.
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 information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.
Therefore, the documents provided, 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 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 should also 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 the date of public disclosure, which will be a reasonable time thereafter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC=s Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
