models, methods and processes, which GE has developed, for the examination of Feedwater Nozzles.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790

and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information.
