0UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 9, 1993 Doce*Nos. 50-269, 50-270, 287 50-369, 50-370 50-413, and 50-414 Mr. H. B. Tucker Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation Duke Power Company Post Office Box 1006 Charlotte, North Carolina 28201-1006
Dear Mr. Tucker:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3; MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2; CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NO. M85181)
By application and affidavit dated September 28, 1992, Duke Power Company (DPC) submitted Topical Report DPC-NE-2005, "Thermal/Hydraulic Statistical Core Design Methodology," and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
DPC stated that the submitted information is considered proprietary and should be withheld from public disclosure based on the following:
- a.
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned by Duke and has been held in confidence by Duke and its consultants.
- b.
The information is of a type that would customarily be held in confidence by Duke. The information consists of analysis methodology details, analysis results, supporting data, and aspects of development programs, relative to a method of analysis that provides a competitive advantage to Duke.
- c.
The information was transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the NRC.
- d.
The information sought to be protected is not available in public to the best of DPC's knowledge and belief.
- e.
The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is marked in the proprietary version of the report DPC NE-2005, "Thermal/Hydraulic Statistical Core Design Methodology" and supporting documentation, and omitted from the non-proprietary versions.
Mr. H. March 9, 1993 We have reviewed DPC's application and the material based on the requirements and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of DPC's statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information. Therefore, the proprietary information will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended. Upon conclusion of the staff's review and issuance of the staff's safety evaluation on the report, you are requested to submit both a non-proprietary and a proprietary version of the final report.
Withholding from public disclosure 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 should also 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.
