October 27, 1993 Mr. N. J. Liparulo, Manager Nuclear Safety & Regulatory Activities Westinghouse Electric Corporation P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, PA 15230-0355
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, WCAP-13803 (PROPRIETARY) AND WCAP-13803, REV 1 (PROPRIETARY),
" GENERIC ASSESSMENT OF ASYMMETRIC R0D CLUSTER CONTROL ASSEMBLY WITHDRAWAL" By letter dated August 5, 1993, the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) provided WCAP-13803, " Generic Assessment of Asymmetric Rod Cluster Control Assembly Withdrawal. " WCAP-13803 provided the WOG technical documentation and methodology for the generic analyses of asymmetric rod cluster control assembly (RCCA) withdrawals sponsored by the WOG in support of licensee responses to NRC Generic Letter 93-04, " Rod Control System Failure and Withdrawal of Rod Control Cluster Assemblies,10 CFR 50.54(f)." Due to the
^
expedited nature of the WOG program, only a single version (proprietary in its entirety) of WCAP-13803 was provided, however, the WOG committed to provide standard proprietary and non-proprietary versions within 21 days from August 5, 1993. Accordingly, by letter dated August 26, 1993, the WOG.
provided proprietary and non-proprietary versions appropriately marked with brackets, WCAP-13803, Rev 1 (proprietary) and WCAP-13838 (non-proprietary).
In the WOG letters dated August 5 and August 26, 1993, it was requested that WCAP-13803 and WCAP-13803, Rev 1, be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.
The accompanying affidavits from Westinghouse, dated August 5 and August 26, 1993, respectively, stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
1.
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
2.
The information, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
' 0 We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the q,
requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld cogtains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.y %g ya ghj& fr/ h u }<

a Mr. N. J. Liparulo Therefore, the version (s) of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents.
If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should -
change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC.
You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information.
In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
