Nuclear Division NextEra Energy P.O. Box 14000 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 11, 2014 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420
SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 3 AND 4-REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NOS. ME8990 AND ME8991)
Dear Mr. Nazar:
By letter dated July 18, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML14213A078), Florida Power & Light Company submitted an affidavit dated May 28, 2014, executed by Mr. Greg Highfill, Director Engineering, Flowserve Corporation, requesting that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
"PRA Model for Flowserve 3 Stage N-Seals with Abeyance Seal," Revision 0, dated December 20, 2013 (Proprietary)
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Flowserve because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar product, calculational models and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to address NRC [U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission]
requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Flowserve effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.
In order for competitors of Flowserve to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.
The NRC staff reviewed the submittal in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from
public disclosure. Therefore, the aforementioned document 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, the NRC may send copies of this information to its consultants working in this area. The NRC will ensure that its 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, the NRC should be promptly notified. The NRC may revisit this determination in the future if, for example, the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes this information. The NRC will notify you in advance of any public disclosure if the NRC makes such a determination.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-0489, or by e-mail at Audrey.Kiett@nrc.gov.
