.993754-AFF-1 73T This information is associated with.thie Diahlo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP): Process Protection:System Replacement Project; which incorporates Invensys TRICON Systems and delegated digital application project. integration services. This will allow the, NRC'to verify compliance with current regulatory requirements -for certain Tnvensys activiti'es in support of the DCPP PP-S Replacement Project.

3.

I am making this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of I 0CFR Part 2.3 90 of the Commission's regulations and in conjunction with the Invensys application for withholding, accompanying thifs affidavit,

4.

I have -personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by the Nuclear Delivery Unit of Invensys in-designating information as a trade secret, privileged, oras confidential commercial or financial infornation. Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

a)

Information which discloses process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Invensys';s competitors without license or contractfrom Inyvensys constitutes a competitive, economic advantage over other companies in the industry.

b) hIformation,* which if used by competitors, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve *their competitiveposition.in the-design;, manufacture, shipment, application, installation, assurance of quality, or licensingoQf a similar-product.

c) lIfformation which reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Invensys, its customers, its partners, or, its suppliers.

d) hIformnation which reveals aspects of past, present, or future Invensys customer-funded development plans or programs, of potential commercial value to Invensys.

e)

Iriforn2iation~ which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent progtection.

f)

Inforiation obtafined through-Ii1vehgys actions which.could rev~eal, additional insights into :nuclear equipment qualifcation proceSSes, customer 4ippicatkmns, and regulatory proceedings, and which aite not-other~se r~eadily ob~tainable by a coinpetitor,.

Information to be wi'thhleld is considered to bhe proprietary based on 10CFR2.390.(a)(4), with consideration if-the reasons set foit *ra bove.

5.

These documients describe the details of a propgram to qtualify Invensys Triconex equipment for lE

  • application, product design details_,and/o~r customer applicationi approaches. Invensys Triconex :is the firts manufacturer of a PLC to fully :implement thae requietefents set forth in the _EPRI TPR-107330,. which,has.

been endorsed by the Commission in an SER. Invensys Triconex has expended a significant amount of money and effort involving numerous contractors over more. than'l 15.years to develop and' implement an

onigoing successful approach to its test programfl arid miuclear-applications.
Information developed relating

.to test plans, approaches,, equipment, specific problems encountered,, licensing, perspectives, application.

.approaches,-and.lessons learned has significant value because of thne resources expended-to-successfully

  • accomplish this process and the~usefulness~of -this knowledge to potential' competitors.

'Specific data showing-compliance with requirements and demonstrating technical capability of the equipment has-substantial commercial value because it provides the basis for qualifying Invensys Triconex equipment-and 'implementing safety-related digital upgrades to nuclear facilities. Existing options for

digital upgrades in :the nuclear industry are limited. We. believe that ongoing successful 1E :qualification upgrades of the-TRICON PLC products and implementation of-nuclear application projects will continue to give Invensys a competitive advantage 'in this field.

Disclosure of information in these documents would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Invensys, as there are other competing companies who wish to qualify digital PLC controllers and apply them in safety related applications in nuclear facilities. Competing firms could use our experience, Successful app~roadhes, and techinical information to facilitate their own equipment qualification efforts, application approaches, and/or product design without compensating Invensys.

993754-AF-I 173T

6.

Pursuant to the provisions ofparagraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determinin g whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.

(i)

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Invensys.

(ii)

The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Invensys and not customarily disclosed to the public. Invensys has a rational basis for detemiin the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitute Invensys policy and provide the rational basis required.

(iii)

The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10CFR Part 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.

(iv)

This information is not readily available in public sources.

(v)

Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Invensys because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar design and qualification of PLC systems and associated applications using similar project methods, equipment, testing approach, contractors, or licensing approaches.

7. The foregoing statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

.993754-AFF-1 73T This information is associated with.thie Diahlo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP): Process Protection:System Replacement Project; which incorporates Invensys TRICON Systems and delegated digital application project. integration services. This will allow the, NRC'to verify compliance with current regulatory requirements -for certain Tnvensys activiti'es in support of the DCPP PP-S Replacement Project.

3.

I am making this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of I 0CFR Part 2.3 90 of the Commission's regulations and in conjunction with the Invensys application for withholding, accompanying thifs affidavit,

4.

I have -personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by the Nuclear Delivery Unit of Invensys in-designating information as a trade secret, privileged, oras confidential commercial or financial infornation. Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

a)

Information which discloses process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Invensys';s competitors without license or contractfrom Inyvensys constitutes a competitive, economic advantage over other companies in the industry.

b) hIformation,* which if used by competitors, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve *their competitiveposition.in the-design;, manufacture, shipment, application, installation, assurance of quality, or licensingoQf a similar-product.

c) lIfformation which reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Invensys, its customers, its partners, or, its suppliers.

d) hIformnation which reveals aspects of past, present, or future Invensys customer-funded development plans or programs, of potential commercial value to Invensys.

e)

Iriforn2iation~ which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent progtection.

f)

Inforiation obtafined through-Ii1vehgys actions which.could rev~eal, additional insights into :nuclear equipment qualifcation proceSSes, customer 4ippicatkmns, and regulatory proceedings, and which aite not-other~se r~eadily ob~tainable by a coinpetitor,.

Information to be wi'thhleld is considered to bhe proprietary based on 10CFR2.390.(a)(4), with consideration if-the reasons set foit *ra bove.

5.

These documients describe the details of a propgram to qtualify Invensys Triconex equipment for lE

  • application, product design details_,and/o~r customer applicationi approaches. Invensys Triconex :is the firts manufacturer of a PLC to fully :implement thae requietefents set forth in the _EPRI TPR-107330,. which,has.

been endorsed by the Commission in an SER. Invensys Triconex has expended a significant amount of money and effort involving numerous contractors over more. than'l 15.years to develop and' implement an

onigoing successful approach to its test programfl arid miuclear-applications.
Information developed relating

.to test plans, approaches,, equipment, specific problems encountered,, licensing, perspectives, application.

.approaches,-and.lessons learned has significant value because of thne resources expended-to-successfully

  • accomplish this process and the~usefulness~of -this knowledge to potential' competitors.

'Specific data showing-compliance with requirements and demonstrating technical capability of the equipment has-substantial commercial value because it provides the basis for qualifying Invensys Triconex equipment-and 'implementing safety-related digital upgrades to nuclear facilities. Existing options for

digital upgrades in :the nuclear industry are limited. We. believe that ongoing successful 1E :qualification upgrades of the-TRICON PLC products and implementation of-nuclear application projects will continue to give Invensys a competitive advantage 'in this field.

Disclosure of information in these documents would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Invensys, as there are other competing companies who wish to qualify digital PLC controllers and apply them in safety related applications in nuclear facilities. Competing firms could use our experience, Successful app~roadhes, and techinical information to facilitate their own equipment qualification efforts, application approaches, and/or product design without compensating Invensys.

993754-AF-I 173T

6.

Pursuant to the provisions ofparagraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determinin g whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.

(i)

The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Invensys.

(ii)

The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Invensys and not customarily disclosed to the public. Invensys has a rational basis for detemiin the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitute Invensys policy and provide the rational basis required.

(iii)

The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10CFR Part 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.

(iv)

This information is not readily available in public sources.

(v)

Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Invensys because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar design and qualification of PLC systems and associated applications using similar project methods, equipment, testing approach, contractors, or licensing approaches.
