Mr. Bryan C. Hanson UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 2, 2015 President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1
Dear Mr. Hanson:
By letter dated August 31, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15254A414), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted an affidavit dated February 25, 2014, and executed by Mr. Lukas Trosman of Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A). Exelon requested that the information contained in Enclosure 2 to its letter be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 1 O of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390. Specifically, Exelon requested that the following document be withheld:
Core Operating Limits Report for Limerick Generating Station Unit 1, Reload 15, Cycle 16, Revision 12 A non-proprietary copy of the document has been placed in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(4)a.
Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GNF-A's competitors without license from GNF-A constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(4)b.
Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 1 O CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, 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 1 O 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 document. 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 301-415-1420 or Rick.Ennis@nrc.gov.
