Docket No. 50-243, License No. R-106 Request for Additional Information Letter Dated August 23, 2013

Subject:

Affidavit attesting to the proprietary information in the submission of letter that served as a response to a request for additional information Mr. Adams:

In the letter to you dated August 23, 2013, I submitted a letter that served as a response to a request for addition information (RAI) pertaining to a license amendment application submitted last year. This letter serves as an affidavit attesting that some of the information in that RAI letter will be proprietary in nature. As such, we request that certain information be redacted with the statement, "Contains Proprietary Information Withhold from public disclosure per 10 CFR 2.390" and request that the information be withheld from public disclosure.

The basis for the determination is that it falls under 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4), trade secrets and commercial orfinancialinformation obtainedfrom a person and privilegedor confidential. The information is proprietary information owned by Oregon State University. We believe that if released, the information would create substantial harm to the owners by providing competitors and other parties whose interest may be adverse to the owner with detailed technical trade secret and commercial information.

Specifically, information related to the target dimensions, material composition, and mass or information that would reasonably allow knowledgeable people to deduce this information should be withheld from public disclosure. This information is considered proprietary and would significantly affect any competitive advantage that this target configuration creates.

(DO~

I hereby affirm, state, and declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. I am the Director of the Oregon State University Radiation Center and am authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of Oregon State University.

Executed on:

Sincerely,,
