SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDINGINFORMATIONFROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE NINE MILEPOINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO. 1
Dear Mr. Abbott:
By your application dated April 16, 1998, and affidavit dated March 23, 1998, executed by George B. Stramback of General Electric (GE), you submitted GE-NE 523-B13-01869-113KKM, "Summary of KemKraftwerk Muehleberg Shroud Sample Metallurgical Evaluation" dated March 1998 and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
1.
Information that discloses a process, 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.
Information which, ifused 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; 3.
The information identified, is classified as proprietary because it contains detailed plant unique results of analytical models, methods and processes, including computer codes, which GE has developed and applied to perform evaluations of indications in the core shroud for the BWR.
The development and approval of the BWR Shroud Repair Program was achieved at a significant cost, on the order of one million dollars, to GE.
The development of the evaluation process contained in the document along with the interpretation and application of the analytical results is derived from the extensive experience database that constitutes a major GE asset.
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.
