UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 Docket Nos. 50-272
- and 50-311 Mr. Nicholas J. Liparulo Manager, Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Activities Westinghouse Electric Corporation P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230-0355
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
March 29, 1993
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. M85782 AND M85783)
By your application and affidavit dated January 12, 1993, CAW-93-392, you submitted WCAP-13502, "Advanced Digital Feedwater Control System Median Signal Selector for Public Service Electric and Gas Company," 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.
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 without license from Westinghous~
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 commercial value to Westinghouse.
- 5.
It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.

Mr. Nicholas March 29, 1993 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 trade secrets or proprietary commercial information. Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from pubic disclosure, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(S) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents.
If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area.
We will, of course, ensure that the.consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
If the basis of withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC.
You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information.
In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
