Mr. Michael J. Pacilio Senior Vice President UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 September 17, 2014 Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO)

Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, AND QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2-REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NOS. MF2422, MF2423, MF2424, AND MF2425)

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

By letter dated August 25, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML14237A526), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted an affidavit dated August 21, 2014, executed by Alan B. Meginnis on behalf of AREVA, Inc.

requesting that information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Section 2.390:

Fuel Transition License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting Presentation (Proprietary), dated August 19, 2014.

A nonrroprietary copy of this document was submitted with the affidavit. It has been placed in the NRC's Public Document Room and added to the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Public Electronic Reading Room.

The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

(1)

Use of the information by a competitor would permit the competitor to significantly reduce its expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service.

(2)

The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA in product optimization or marketability.

(3)

The information is vital to a competitive advantage held by AREVA, would be helpful to competitors to AREVA, and would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of AREVA.

We have reviewed your document and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted

information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 1 03(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 301-415-2020.

Docket Nos. 50-237, 50-249, 50-254 and 50-265 cc: Listserv Sincerely,
