1.
The normal and accident environmental conditions for equipment qualification design in ABWR SSAR Chapter 3 Appendix I.
r The SSAR will be revised in Amendment 30 reclassifying this
(
information as non-proprietary.
2.
The SAFER /GESTR LOCA analysis results in ABWR SSAR Chapter 6.
GE is developing a non-proprietary version of the SAFER /GESTR results to replace present Table 6.3-4.
The plan is to 3
provide this in Amendment 30 of the SSAR.
The remaining information, presently classified as proprietary in the SSAR, i
will remain proprietary.
Disclosure of this information will provide competitors with insight into our model and adversely affect our competitive position in this area.
3.
Discrepancy in classification of reference documents in SSAR Section 12.4.6, Radiation Protection.
The documents in question ~have been reclassified and reissued as Class 1
documents permitting general distribution.
Reference 2 transmitted a copy of each_of the three documents for NRC use.
4.
Radwaste Building Arrangements and P& IDS of ABWR SSAR Chapters 1, 11, and 12, and the corresponding text in Chapter 11.
GE has completed its evaluation of the Gaseous Radwaste information and has determined that the text information and i
Table 11.2-1 can be classified as non-proprietary.
Figures 11.3-1 and -2 and Tables 11.3-2,
-3,
-4 contain information that provide new design details based on years of GE engineering expertise and are considered proprietary. Release of this data would impact our competitive position in the LWR industry.
GE will provide, currently planned for Amendment i

non-proprietary Section 11.3, including a
non-proprietary version of the flow diagram, Figure 11.3-1, to replace the existing SSAR information.
The proprietary information will be submitted to the staff similar to the method used for the proprietary version of revised 'SSAR -
Appendix 18F. (Reference 3)
GE is pursuing with its partners in Japan, the development of non-proprietary Solid and Liquid Radwaste information.
A draft of the revised information has been transmitted to our partners for their concurrence.
We expect a response within l
30 days, at which time a SSAR amendment will be initiated to provide a non-proprietary replacement for the existing Solid-f and Liquid Radwaste SSAR information.
.The ' proprietary l
information will be submitted to the-staff similar to the method used for the proprietary version. of revised SSAR Appendix 18F (Reference 3).

Interlock Block Diagrams (IBDs) and Instrumentation Electrical Diagrams (IEDs) of ABWR SSAR Chapter 7.-
GE is actively pursuing resolution of this issue which has ~ to j
be cleared through our commercial agreement with our partners.
1 in Japan.
We will keep your staf f informed of our progress as we work to determine which, if any, of these drawings can be
.l reclassified.
]
We had originally planned to complete resolution of these matters i
by June 9.
However, it has been more time consuming than expected to coordinate resolution'of these proprietary issues with both our partners in
- Japan, and within the various GE engineering organizations.
For this reason, we are requesting an additional 60 days to provide the required information on the material still considered proprietary, for wherever possible, to provide ' non-proprietary -replacements which can be substituted and the proprietary versions returned to GE.
