SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (TAC NO. 67321)

RE:

SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNIT 2 By your application and affidavit dated March 3, 1989, CAW-89-037, you submitted WCAP-12090, Salem Unit 2 Evaluation for Tube Vibration Induced Fatigue, and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

You stated that the submitted infonnation should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

1.

The infonnation reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies,

2.

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,

3.

Its use 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 a similar product,

4.

It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential conmercial value to Westinghouse.

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 detennined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary co1J111ercial infonnation. Therefore, the version of the suhmitted infonnation marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
