UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 April 15, 2015 Mr. George H. Gellrich, Site Vice President Exelon Generation Company, LLC Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant 1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway Lusby, MD 20657-4702
SUBJECT:
CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 -
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NOS. MF3388 AND MF3389)
Dear Mr. Gellrich:
By letter dated November 3, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14309A717), as supplemented by letter dated February 2, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15035A548), you submitted an affidavit dated October 27, 2014, and a revised version dated January 12, 2015, executed by Mr. Mark J. Stofko of Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC, requesting that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:
CN-TAS-05-13, Revision 000, "Calvert Cliffs Units 1 & 2 Steam Generator Tube Rupture Event" (Proprietary).
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses.
The information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC [U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission] requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, has 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 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 need arises, the NRC staff may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. The NRC staff 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 301-415-2549.
