WASHING TON, D. C. 20555 s.+...../
January 3. 1984 Ms. Susan Hiatt OCRE Representative 8275 Munson Road IN RESPONSE REFER Mentor, OH.44060 TO F0IA-83-460
Dear Ms. Hiatt:
This is in further response to your letter dated August 9,1983, in which you requested six categories.of documents relating to probabilistic risk assessment and evacuation time estimates.
The following report entitled, " Review and Evaluation of the GESSAR-II Probabilistic Risk Assessment - Containment Failure Modes and Fission Product Release," prepared by BNL under contract to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission contains certain portions which the General Electric l
Company (GE) considers confidential business (proprietary) information.
l The NRC has reviewed the material, agrees that it is proprietary, and finds that its disclosure would cause sut;stantial harm to the competitive position of GE.
Release of GE's containment failure information would deprive them of the ability to seek reimbursement of the substantial costs the company has expended while also permitting their competitors i
to utilize this information to their detriment.
Foreign competitors, including competing BWR suppliers, without expenditure of their own resources, could then obtain this containment information at no cost.
This would enable foreign competitors to produce their containments at lower costs than General Electric, resulting in damages to the competitive position of GE.
This information is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (4) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) of the Comission's regulations. The nonexempt portions of the report are enclosed.
- Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the Commission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure, and that'its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The persons responsible for this denial are the undersigned and Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

o MsbSusan-Hiatt -
'5 This ' denial',may be appealed to the Comission's Executive Director for
.. Operations ~within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. As provided irjl0 CFR~ 9.11, any such appeal mest be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director-for Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission.
- Washington, TK; 20555 and should clearly' state on the envelope and in the
.-letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial FOIA Decision."
.s This completes NRC's action on your request.
