UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 M3.rch 14, 2019 Mr. Richard D. Bologna Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Beaver Valley Power Station Mail Stop A-BV-SSB P.O. Box 4, Route 168 Shippingport, PA 15077
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 2 (EPID L-2019-LLR-0013)
Dear Mr. Bologna:
By letter dated February 20, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19051A108), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an affidavit dated January 21, 2019, executed by Mr. Korey L. Hosack of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse). FENOC requested that the information contained in Attachment D to its letter be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390. Specifically, FENOC requested that the following document be withheld:
L TR-SDA-18-054-P, Revision 0, "Technical Justification to Support the Extended Volumetric Examination Interval for Beaver Valley Unit 2 Reactor Vessel Inlet Nozzle to Safe End Dissimilar Metal Welds" A nonproprietary copy of this document has been placed in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library in ADAMS under Accession No. ML19051A109.
The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(4)(ii)(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 without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(4)(ii)(c)
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)(ii)(e)
It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.
We have 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 submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information 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.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the document. 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 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.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1603 or Carleen.Parker@nrc.gov.
