October 14, 1988
Dear Mr. Robertson:
The enclosed affidavit is provided for your use with the referenced report and attests to the proprietary nature of information contained in the report.
In addition to the information already designated as "General Electric Company Proprietary", additional sections from the report which should likewise be identified have been marked and are enclosed with this transmittal.

GENERAL ELECTR I C COMPANY FFIDAVIT I, Janice
- Charnley, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:
I.:
I am Manager, Fuel Licensing, General Electric Company, and have been
- delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph 2 which is sought to be withheld and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.
2.
The information sought to be withheld is contained in the document "Summary Report for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 2, Cycle 6
Inspection and Reconstitution Program,"
TVA-BCD-906, Rev. 0, August 1988.
3.
In designating material as proprietary, General Electric utilizes the definition of proprietary information and trade secrets set forth in the American Law Institute's Restatement of Torts, Section 757.
This definition provides:
"A trade secret may consist of any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one's business and which gives him an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it....
A.substantial element of secrecy must exist, so that, except by the use of improper means, there would be difficulty in acquiring information....
Some factors to be considered in determining whether given information is one's trade secret are: (I) the extent to which the information is known outside of his business; (2) the extent to which it is known by employees and others involved in his business; (3) the extent of measures taken by him to guard the secrecy of the information; (4) the value of the information to him and to his competitors; (5) the amount of effort or money expanded by him in developing the information; (6) the ease or difficulty with the which the information could be properly acquired or duplicated by others."
4.
Some examples of categories of information which fit into. the definition of proprietary information are:
a.
Information that discloses a process, method or apparatus where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;
5.
6.
b.
Information consisting of supporting data and analyses, including test data, relative to a process, method or apparatus, the application of which provide a competitive economic advantage, e.g.,
by optimization or improved marketability; c.
Information which if used by a compytitor, would reduce his expenditure. of resources or improve:-.his.competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance
- .. oC,quality, or licensing of.a similar product;
~it.
~ r.ep0 p.'
r;.;
'y the G~ee~gectric.Company, no public disclosure has been
- made, and it is not available in public sources.
All disclosures to third parties have been made pursuant to regulatory provisions of proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence.
9..'ublic disclosure"of". the information: sought. to. be withheld is likely to cause. substantial:.:harm: to'the competitive position of the General Electric. Company. and. deprive or-reduce the availability of profit making opportunities berause it would..provide. other. parties, including competitors, with valuable information.
