Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Reference:
(a) NS-TMA-2206 (b) NS-TNA-2200 (c) NS-TMA-2265 Enclosed are:
1.
Ten (10) copies of WCAP-9748, " Westinghouse Owners Group Asymetric LOCA Load Evaluation - Phase C," June 1980, Proprietary.
2.
Ten (10) copies of WCAP-9749, " Westinghouse Owners Group Asymetric LOCA Load Evaluation - Phase C," June 1980, Non-Proprietary.
Also enclosed is one (1) copy of Application for Withholding AW-80-36.
These reports have been prepared for and are being submitted to the Staff at the request of the Westinghouse Owners Group of Operating Nuclear Power Plants who are participating in the evaluation of the effects of asymetric LOCA loads on the integrity of the primary reactor coolant system (NRC Task Action Plan NRC-TAP-TOPIC-A-2). The information contained in these reports is only appli-cable to this Owners Group.
Each participating utility will reference the appropriate information contained in these reports when addressing the asymetric LOCA load issue for their particular plant.
These reports supersede the information provided in Reference (a) and include an evaluation of postulated reactor coolant pipe breaks inside the reactor cavity annulus including confirmation of the structural integrity of the reactor vessel and supports, reactor internal structures, fuel, and ECCS piping attached to the reactor coolant system. The integrity of the control rod drive mechanisms and 1
' primary equipment supports which may be affected by the postulated pipe breaks was also evaluated.

O. G. Eisenhut NS-TMA-2266 June 30, 1980 The evaluations described in these reports have demonstrated the capability of the plants to withstand the effects of the postulated reactor vessel nozzle rupture. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that the appropriate systems and components will maintain their functional capability and insure a safe plant shutdown. The evaluations performed in Phase C incorporate, as part of the analysis assumptions, the plant modifications previously identified.
For some plants in the Owners Group no specific evaluations were performed in Phase C.
For these plants it was previously detennined that the burden incurred in upgrading is excessive, and separate submittals have been made to demonstrate the radiological and economic impact.
The Westinghouse Owners Group used a phased approach in the evaluation of asym-metric LOCA loads. Detailed results have been presented (Reference (b)) to the Staff for Phases A and B, which encompassed evaluations of the reactor coolant loop and component supports for selected postulated guillotine ruptures of the reactor coolant piping outside the primary shield wall. The conclusion from these evaluations is that the plants could withstand these postulated events assuming minor support modifications.
Concurrent with the Phase B and C evaluations, Westinghouse has conducted experi-mental and analytical investigations to determine the need to include a guillo-i tine rupture of the reactor coolant piping as a reasonable design basis for' their plants. The results of these efforts were submitted to the Staff by Reference (c).
This submittal contains proprietary information of Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
In confonnance with the requirements of 10CFR Section 2.790, as amended, of the Consnission's regulations, we are enclosing with this submittal an application for withholding from public disclosure and an affidavit. The affidavit sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the Consnission.
Correspondence with respect to the affidavit or application for withholding should reference AW-80-36 and should be addressed te R. A. Wiesemann, Manager, Regulatory and Legislative Affairs, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, P. O.

(1)
I am Manager, Licensing Progrces, in the Pressurized Pater Reactor Systems Division, of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and as such, I have been specifically delegated the function of revicwing the
~ p.reprietary infor=ation sought to be withheld from.public d's-closure in, connection with nuclear power plant licensing or rule-asking proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of the !!cstinghouse Water P.cactor Divisions.
8 (2)
I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of
~
10 CFR 'Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations and in con-junction with the Westinghouse application for withholding accom-
'panying this Affidavit.
(3)
I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedure utilized by Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential cc::mercial or
~
financial information.
~.
(4)
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (B)(4) of Section 2.790,,,
.j.,
of the Commission's regulations, the follcuing it furnished for
~
consideratien by the Co= mission in detemining whether the in-
~
formation sought to be withheld from'public disclosure shculd be.
withheld.
(i)
The information sought to be withheld' from public disclosure is owned and has been held ir. confidence by Westinghouse.
(ii) - The information is of a type customarily held in confidence'
'by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public.
Wstinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information custcmarily held.in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and e
I e
a e
e 0,
'whsther to hold certain types of.infonr.ation in confidence.
The application of that system and the substance of that
' system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required.
Under that' system, infor:rtion 'is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an. existing or potential com-petitive advantage, as followsi
~ (a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or ccmponent, structure, tool, method, etc.). -
. where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's
~~
competitors without license froci Westinghouse consti-tates a competitive econcaic advantage over other
~
companies.
~
(b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or camponent, structure, tool,
-1 method, etc.), the applicaticn of which data secures
.a competit'ive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization
.or improved marketability.
~Its use by a' competitor would reduce his expenditure (c) 4 of' resources or improve *.is ccmpatitive position in
- the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assur-
',ance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
(d)
It reveals cost or price information, production cap-acities, budget levels, or con ercial strategies of Westinghouse, its custcmers or suppliers.
~

.w
. (e). It're' veals aspects of.p'ast, present, or future West-inghouse or custemcr funded development plans and pro-5 grams of ptitential commercial value of Westinghouse.
,. (f)'- It contains patentable ideas,, for which patent pro-taction r.ay be desirabic.
,1 It is not the property of Westinghouse, but must be
. (g) treated as proprietary by Westinghouse according to agreements.with the owner.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse
, system which include the following:
(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives
- Westinghouse a ecmpetitive advantage over its co=-
petitors.
It is, thr.refore, withheld' from disclosure.
~
to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.
/
'(b.)
It is information which is marketable in many ways'..
~
The eitant to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to
- s. ell products and services involving the use of the
.~
..> n information.
\\.
(c) Use by our ccmpetitor would put Westinghouse at a-
, compe,titive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure'-
..of rese fees at our expense.

4 (d)
Each component of proprietary information partinent to a particular, competitive advantage is potential.ly If as yaluable as the total. competitive advantage.
competitors acquire ccmponents of proprietary infor-.
~
.~
ma' tion,,any one component may be the'. key i:o the entire puzzle, thereby depriving. Westinghouse of a competitive
~~ advantage.
\\ (e) Unrestricted disclosure t.tould jeopardize the ' position of prominence of !!estinghouse in the.verld market, and thereby give a market advantage to the cc= petition in tho,se countries.
-(
.~
(f) The Westinghouse capacity to. invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

~
~
~
(iii) The information is being transmitted to the ' ommiscion in C
confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Sectfon 2.790, it is, to be received in confidence by the Comnission.
.f.-L
~~
(iv)
Th'e information is' not availab[la in public sources to'ihe.
~
- -[
best of our knowledge and belief.
~
s (v)
The proprietary infomation sought to' be withheld in this
, submittal is that which is attach'ed to Westinghouse Letter f
' Number NS-CE-1460, Eicheidinger to Stello, dated June 15, 1977. The letter and attach =ent are being submitted in
~
J, support of th~e Con:nission's review of the reactor pressure
' vessel supports analysis for Indian Point 3.
~
Public disclosure of the infomation sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to the competit,ive position of Westinghouse, taking into accoun't the value of e
e e
e
the information to Ucstinghouse, the ra:: cunt of effort and money expended by Westinghouse in developing the information,.d and considering the ways.in >!hich the infomation could be acquired or duplii::ated by others.
