- method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies; 2.3.'nformation which, if used 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 of a similar product; The information identified above, is classified as proprietary because it contains detailed results of analytical
- models, methods and processes, including computer codes, which GE has developed and applied to perform evaluations of the core shroud repair for the BWR [boiling-water reactor].
