U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission
October 6, 2016 Page 1of2 ENCLOSURE
PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 2.390 1. My name is Caroline Cochran. I am the Co-founder
and Chief Operating
Officer of Oklo Inc. ("Oklo"), and am authorized
to make this request for withholding.
2. The purpose of this affidavit
is to request withholding
of the information
herein enclosed, Oklo Inc. Voluntary
Response to NRC Regulatory
Issue Summary (RIS) 2016-08, from public disclosure
in its entirety, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390. 3. I am making this request for withholding
under the provisions
of 10 CFR 2.390(a)( 4) of the regulations
of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) and submitting
this affidavit
in conformance
with the provisions
4. Pursuant to the provisions
10 CFR 2.390(a)( 4), the following
is furnished
for consideration
by the NRC in determining
whether the information
sought to be withheld from public disclosure
should be withheld.
a) The information
sought to be withheld from public disclosure
is owned by Oklo and has been held in confidence
by Oklo and its consultants.
b) The information
sought to be protected
is not available
to the public to the best of our knowledge
and belief. c) The information
is of the type that would customarily
be held in confidence
by Oklo policy, which holds that information
is to be held in confidence
if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential
competitive
advantage, as follows: i) It contains information
descriptive
of proprietary
technology, where preventing
its use by any of Oklo's competitors
without license from Oklo constitutes
a competitive
economic advantage
over other companies.
ii) Its use by a competitor
would reduce their expenditure
of resources
or improve their competitive
position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance
of quality, or licensing
a similar product. iii) It reveals or can be used to infer cost or price information, production
capacities, budget levels, or commercial
strategies
of Oklo, its customers, or suppliers.
iv) It reveals or can be used to infer aspects of past, present, or future Oklo or funded development
plans and programs of potential
commercial
value to Oklo. v) It contains patentable
ideas, for which patent protection
may be desirable.
vi) The use of such information
by Oklo gives Oklo a competitive
advantage
over its competitors.
It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure
to protect the Oklo competitive
position.
vii) It includes information
that is marketable
in many ways. The extent to which such information
is available
to competitors
diminishes
Oklo's ability to sell products and services involving
the use of the information.
viii) Use by our competitor(s)
would put Oklo at a competitive
disadvantage
by reducing their expenditure
of resources
at our expense. ix) Each component
of proprietary
information
pertinent
to a particular
competitive
advantage
is potentially
as valuable as the total competitive
advantage.
If competitors
acquire components
of proprietary
information, any one component
may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving
Oklo of a competitive
advantage.
x) Unrestricted
disclosure
would jeopardize
the position of prominence
of Oklo in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage
to the competition
of those countries.
xi) The capacity of Oklo and its investors
to invest corporate
assets in research and development
depends upon the success in obtaining
and maintaining
a competitive
advantage.
d) The information
was transmitted
to the NRC in confidence
and under the provisions
of 10 CFR 2.390; it is to be received in confidence
by the NRC. _J_Q_/ _f c_1 <Lo 1 .f:. Caroline Cochran Date Subscribed
