how proprietary information would be handled in the transfer, and how AVANCER 3

should indicate the handling of proprietary information to the NRC.

The status of paid and unpaid fees to date en the TR' review was discussed, and the fact that there are provisions in the agreement between B&W i

and AVAtlCER on the payment of unpaid and future fees.
