AFFIDAVIT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA:
SS COUNTY OF ALLEGHENY:
Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Robert A.
Wiesemann, who, being by me duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is authorized to execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Corporation {
11Westinghouse 11
) and that the aver-ments of fact set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct to the best of his knowledge, information and belief:
The proprietary material of Westinghouse being transmitted by the Public Service Electric and Gas Company - tables showing Mass and Energy Releases to Containment, Main Steam Line Break - is of the same technical type as that proprietary material previously submitted to the Commission in August 1976.
Justification for withholding such information from public dis-closure has been provided by Westinghouse in a previously submitted affidavit, AW-76-29, dated July 23, 1976, which was approved by the Commission on June 14, 1978, a copy of which is attached. The aver-ments in that affidavit apply equally to the above referenced trans-mittal and are incorporated herein by reference.
Further the deponent sayeth not.
Sworn to and subscribed bef~ me. ihi s ):)"" day of ~~
1978.
Robert A. Wiesemann, Manager Regulatory & Legislative Affairs
. -AW-76-29 (1). I am Manager, licensing Programs, in the Pressurized Water Reactor Systems Division, of Westinghouse Electric Corporation*and as such,
. *I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the
' proprietary information sought to* be withheld from public dis-closure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing or rule-maki~g proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on beh~lf of the Westinghouse Water Reactor Divisions.
(2) l am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations and in con-junction with the Alabama Power Company application for withholding
- accompanying this Affidavit.
- (3) I have persona 1 knowledge of the criteria and procedures uti 1 i zed by Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems in designating informatipn
- :-s as* a* trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) *Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 of the Corrunission 1s regulations, the following is furnished for
. consideration by the Commission in determining whether the in-
. fonnation sought to be withheld from public disclosure should.be withheld.
(1) The infonnation sought to be withheld from public disclosure
. is owned and has been he 1 d in confidence by Westinghouse~
- 1
./
,.W-76-29.
. (11) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public.
Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.
The application of that system and the substance of that
. system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required
- Under that system, information is held in confidence if it
- falls in one or more of several types, the release of which
.might result in the loss of an exi.sting or potential com-
~
petitive advantage, as follows:
(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 with out license from Westinghouse cons ti -
- tutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool,
- method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic *advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.

AW-76-29 (c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of.resources or improve his competitive posit'ion in the design~ manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product *
. (d) It reveals cost or price information, production cap-acities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future West-inghouse or customer funded development plans and pro-
. grams of potenti a 1 commerci a 1 va 1 ue to Westinghouse *
(f) It contains patentable ideas~ for which patent pro-.
tection may be desirablec
~~.
(g) It is not the property of Westinghouse, but must be.
treated as proprietary by Westinghouse according to.
agreements with the owner.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following:
(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives*
Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its com-petitors. It is. therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.

\\*.
AW-76-Z9 (b) It is information which is marketable in many ways.
The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information *
. (c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure
- of resources at our expense.
(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent
.to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary infer-*
mation, any one component may be the key to the entir~
. puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.
'
- 1
. (e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position
- *of prominence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition
'in those countries.
(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate as$ets in research and development depends upon the success in obtai"ning and maintaining a competitive advantage..

AW-76-29 (iii). The infonnation is being transmitted to the Commission in
- confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.790,
- it is to be received in confidence by the Commissio_n.
\\
(iv) The infonnation is not available in public sources to the
- .~est of our knowledge and belief.
(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this
' submittal is that which is appropriately marked in the en-closed material with regard to Steam Line Break Release to The Containment being transmitted to the Commission by Alabama Power Company letter, Clayton to Boyd dated August 1976.

(d) Verify computer codes used for accident analyses.

. (a) Westinghouse sells the use of the information to its*
customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for licensing documentation.
(b) Westinghouse uses the information to perform and justify analyses which are sold to customers~
Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause sub-stantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enable others* to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing.
the right to use the information.
- The development of this information is the result of many years
. of Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a cons i derabJ e sum of money:
Jn order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar experimental test programs would have
.*to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be.
. expended for data analyses and code development.
