Subject:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Document Submittal in Advance of License Amendment Request, Docket No. 50-20, License R-37 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hereby submits (in the form of four Enclosures) documents describing a proposed upgrade to the nuclear safety system within the Reactor Protection System for the MIT Reactor. The proposed upgrade has been reviewed and approved by the MIT Reactor Safeguards Committee. The purpose of this letter is to notify NRC of our intent to make a license amendment request for the upgrade in the near future, and is to serve as a request for Phase Zero discussion.
Certain portions of the main upgrade document, titled "Nuclear Safety System Upgrade -
DWK 250 Digital System", contain proprietary information held in confidence by Mirion Technologies (MGPI H&B) GmbH ("Mirion"). Mirion requests that these portions therefore be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390. - See Enclosures 1, 2, and 3.
Enclosure 1 "Nuclear Safety System Upgrade - DWK 250 Digital System" provides the document in its entirety, including the Mirion proprietary information marked as such. MIT and Mirion request that NRC withhold this version of the document from public disclosure in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4).
Enclosure 2 contains an appropriate affidavit supporting proprietary treatment of Mirion confidential proprietary information pursuant to 10CFR2.390, signed by an upper-level management representative from Mirion. This affidavit includes a listing that contains *only*
the proprietary information that appears in #1 above per 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(iii)
Enclosure 3 provides the redacted version of Enclosure 1, with proprietary information whited out. This version can be made available for public release.
Page 2 Enclosure 4 contains an excerpt from the existing Safety Analysis Report for the MIT Reactor. It provides a description of the existing nuclear safety system of the Reactor Protection System. This Enclosure can be made available for public release.
Please contact the undersigned with any questions.
Sincerely, Thomas H. Newton, Jr., PE, PhD Edward S. Lau, NE Director of Reactor Operations Assistant Director of Reactor Operations MIT Research Reactor MIT Research Reactor I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is and correct.

PI 20 14 23 D-80014 MQndhen Munich, 13th November 2013 AFFIDAVIT PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 2.390 AND OTHER GROUNDS 1, Roderik Wiedemeier, Managing Director of Mirion Technologies (MGPI H&B) GmbH depose and state as follows:
(1) I am duly authorized by Mirion Technologies (MGPI H&B) GmbH (CMimon) to execute this affidavit.
(2) I am submitting this affidavit in support of a request to withhold certain information (hereafter "Propdetary Information") from any public disclosure, including without limitation, any request for disclosure under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, on the grounds that (A) portions of the Proprietary Information consists of "Controlled Technology" subject to an export control license from the German BAFA which only authorizes its disclosure to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("NRC") and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") and no other organizations or persons; and (B) portions of the Proprietary Information consists of trade secrets and commercial and financial and/or confidential information of Mirion which can be protected from public disclosure in conformance with the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of 10 CFR 2.390 of the United States Code. A complete list of the documents containing Proprietary Information is listed in Exhibit A and Mirion is providing two sets of documents, one complete, and one redacted with the Proprietary Information removed.
(3) I have reviewed all of the documents containing Proprietary Information sought to be protected as listed in Exhibit A.
(4) The legal grounds for withholding the Proprietary Information from public disclosure are as listed in Exhibit A.
(5) The Proprietary Information is being disclosed to the NRC and the MIT in confidence and only in connection with an application to qualify certain Mirion products according to the NRC regulations and requirements. Its disclosure outside Mirion is limited to customers, regulatory bodies and others with a legitimate need for the information and is always subject to suitable measures to protect it from unauthorized use or disclosure. It is not available from public sources.
Mlrion Technologles (MGPI H&B) GmbH Regtergedcht MOncheR: HRB 136 707 A comrany of group MIRION Technologies MGPiH&B Gesmhf0hrer: Roderk Wiedameler UST-ID: DE 813 223 535 Bakyverblrdung: CommerAzbek AG, RFlale MOnchen Kontonummer: 221003700 BLZ; 70040041 www.mkton.com SWIFTABIC: COBADEFF700 [BAN: DE29700400410221003700
MIRION TECHNOLOGIES Page 2 (6) Inaddition, public disclosure of the Proprietary Information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Mirion because the Proprietary Information consists of Mirion's technical documents such as equipment manuals, qualification reports, design documents, description of algorithms and certifications all related to the U.S. NRC DWK 250 qualification project The availability of such Proprietary Information to competitors would enable them to easily modify their products to compete unfairly with Mirion, to take marketing or other actions to improve their products position or impair the position of Mirion's products. Further, it would enable them to spare important costs developing similar data and analysis In support of their processes, methods or apparatus.
(7) The Proprietary Information has been in the past, and will continue to be, held in confidence by Mirion. It is the type of information customarily held in confidence by any manufacturing company.
Accordingly, Mirion requests that the Proprietary Information be withheld from any public disclosure, and to be notified of any such request for disclosure.
