- Systems, Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2, 24-Month Fuel Cycle Evaluation,"
WCAP-
- 11594, Revision 2, "Westinghouse Improved Thermal Design Procedure Instrument Uncertainty Methodology, Diablo Canyon Units 1
and 2, 24-Month Fuel Cycle Evaluation,"
and WCAP-14646, Revision 1, "Instrumentation Calibration and Drift Evaluation Process for Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2, 24-Month Fuel Cycle Evaluation,"
and requested that these documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
Nonproprietary versions (WCAP-13705, Revision 4, WCAP-11595, Revision 2, and WCAP-14826, Revision 0, respectively) were also submitted for placement in the Public Document Room.
Affidavits dated January 24,
- 1997, from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the owner of the information, were included in the application.
Westinghouse Electric Corporation states that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
"(a)
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.)
where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over
'ther companies.
(c)
Its use 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 a
similar product."
We have reviewed your s'ubmittal and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790
- and, on the basis of Westinghouse Electric Corporation statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.
