SUBJECT:

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS APPROVAL OF GLOBAL NUCLEAR FUEL - AMERICAS, LLCS REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

Dear Mr. Head:

On April 27, 2018, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLCs (hereafter referred to as GNF-A) submitted an affidavit (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS),

Accession No. ML18117A054) requesting that the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390:

• Enclosure 1 - Detailed Response to Inspection Report Nonconformance 99901376/2018-201-01, GEH Proprietary Information - Class 2 (Internal)

Under this regulation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must make an independent review and determine whether the record, or any portions thereof, may be withheld based on the criteria outlined in your affidavit.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the information submitted and sought to be withheld does contain proprietary commercial information or trade secrets, and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b) (5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the NRCs Public Document Room under the ADAMS accession number identified above.

If the basis for 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.

J. Head Please contact Mr. Yamir Diaz-Castillo at 301-415-2228, or via electronic mail at Yamir.Diaz-Castillo@nrc.gov, if you have any questions or need assistance regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Terry W. Jackson, Chief Quality Assurance Vendor Inspection Branch-1 Division of Construction Inspection and Operational Programs Office of New Reactors Docket No.: 99901376
