j. 7:

Gentlemen:

E t ' '.........

During the past two-year period, a number of reactor facility licensees i

using GE systens filed proprietary documents relating tbethe emergency g g.3 33.-

core cooling system requirements of Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50 and i

requested that they be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 4

Section 2.790 of 10 CFR Part 2.

Enclosed is a description of each of J5Q l

the proprietary documents, the names of the licensees filing them, the p

date on which they were transmitted to the Commission, and the facilities

=

inycived.

1 is==

l We have reviewed the justifications provided and the proprietary infor-i mation contained in the documents on the enclosed list and concluded that there is not sufficient justification for our withholding this infonnation from public disclosure. The basis for this conclusion is that we feel it would be highly unlikely, if not impossible, for General Electric competitors to utilize the results of the calculations relating to the i

requirements speciffdd in Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50 to qualify their

..=

own design nodels since:

1.

developing a correlation from the results of the analysis on a Mi' given plant design requires knowledge of many other parameters i

which would generally not be available to the General Electric cocpetitors; and 2.

any such correlation used as a basis for ECCS calculations would i

have to be based on sufficient experimental data to justify its j f. _...

adequacy.

in accordance with 52.790 of the Commission's regulations in effect at r... ;.=.

i the time your requests were made, that the ECCS infomation identified E=====
