20555 P'"_ICATION FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE F
Subject:
Transmittal of Additional Information Relative to San Onof re Units 2 and'3 Fuel Rack Seismic Analysis
Dear Dr. Murley:
The proprietary information for which withholding is being requested in the enclosed letter by Southern California Edison Company is further identified in Affidavit CAW-89-104 signed by the owner of the proprietary information, Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The affidavit, which accompanies this letter, sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the Commission and addresses with specificity the considerations listed in paragraph (b)(4) of 10CFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations.
Accordingly, this letter authorizes the utilization of the accompanying affidavit by Southern California Edison Company.
Correspondence with respect to the proprietary aspects of the application for withholding or the Westinghouse affidavit should reference this letter, CAW-89-104, and should be addressed to the undersigned.
Very truly yours, WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION

-(iii)
The information is being transmitted to the Commission in L
confidence and, under the provisions of 10CFR Section 2.790,.it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
(iv)
The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available irformation has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method t.o the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v)
The proprietary information scught to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in
" San Onofre Units 2 & 3 Fuel Rack Seismic Analysis for Final Pool Layout", WNEP-8926 Revision 0, October, 1989, (Proprietary), for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 & 3, being transmitted by the Southern California Edison (SCE) Company letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from' Public Disclosure, Kenneth Baskin, SCE, to USNRC Document Control Desk Attention Tom Murley, February,1989. The proprietary information as submitted for use by Southern l
California Edison Company for the San Onofre Units 2 & 3 is expected to be applicable in other licensee submittals in 1
response to certain NRC requirements for justification of l
obtaining licensing approval for spent fuel storage racks.

Lt This information is part of that which will ensble Westinghouse i
/!.
to:
ll0 (a) Provide documentation of the analysis methods-and parameters jh for determinin'g spent fuel rack dispiacements during a seismic event.
(b) Assist the customer to obtain NRC licensing approval.
Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:
(a) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for licensing documentation.
(b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of the technology to its customers in future spent fuel rack orders.
Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to L
cause substantial harm to the competitive position of I
Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors l
to provide similar analytical methodology and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate L
expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for L
licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the I
inforniation.

o The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort.and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.
In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended for testing and methodology development.
