SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 2 - RELIEF REQUEST 2-RR-17, EXTENSION OF THE PRIMARY NOZZLE DISSIMILAR METAL (DM) WELD INSPECTION INTERVAL (EPID L-2019-LLR-0084)
Dear Mr. Moul,
By letter dated August 29, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19241A489), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (the licensee) submitted an affidavit dated August 26, 2019, executed by Korey L. Hosack, Manager, Product Line Regulatory Support, requesting that the the information contained in 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:
- Westinghouse LTR-SDA-19-071-P, Revision 0, dated August 2019, "Point Beach Unit 2 Steam Generator Safe-End Dissimilar Metal Weld Alloy 52 Inspection Extension" The affidavit stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(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.
(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.
(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, Attachment 1 - Westinghouse LTR-SDA-19-071-P, Revision 0, dated August 2019, "Point Beach Unit 2 Steam Generator Safe-End Dissimilar Metal Weld Alloy 52 Inspection Extension" 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. The non-proprietary version of this document is provided in the submittal as Attachment 2.
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 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 301-415-8371.
Sincerely,
/RA/
