AFFIDAVIT OF M. S. TUC~KMAN 1.
I am Senior Vice President, Nuclear Generation Department, Duke Power Company (" Duke"),
and as such have the responsibility ofreviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear plant licensing, and am authorized to apply for its witholding on behalf of Duke.
2 I am making this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790 of the regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") and in conjunction with Duke's application for withholding which accompanies this aflidavit.
3.
I have knowledge of the criteria used by Duke in designating information as proprietary or confidential.
4.
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of 10 CFR 2.790, the following is furnished for consideration by the NRC in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i)
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned by Duke and and has been held in confidence by Duke and its consultants.
(ii)
The information is of a type that would customarily be held in confidence by Duke.
The information consists of analysis methodology details, analysis results, supporting data, and aspects of development programs, relative to a method of analysis that provides a competitive advantage to Duke.
(iii)
The information was transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the prosisions of 10 CFR 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the NRC.
(iv)
The information sought to be protected is not available in public to the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v)
The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is marked in the proprietary version of the report DPC-NE-3004, " Mass and Energy Release and Containment Response Methodology" and supporting documentation, and omitted from the non-proprietary versions.
' \\MA M. S. Tuckman (continued)
r AFFIDAVIT OFM. S. TUCKMAN(Page 2)
Thisinformation enables Duke to:
(a) Simulate the mass and energy release rates from ioss-of-coolant accidents and steam line break accidents in pressurizer water reactors ofthe Westinghouse design.
(b) Simulate the response of an ice condenser containment design to a high-energy line breakinside containment.
(vi) The proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure has substantial commercialvalue to Duke.
(a) It allows Duke to reduce vendor and consultant expenses associated with supporting the operation and licensing ofnuclear power plants.
(b) Duke intends to sell the information to nuclear utilities, vendors, and consultants for the purpose of supporting the operation and licensing ofnuclear power plants.
4 (c) The subject infbrmation could only be duplicated by competitors at similar expense to that incurred by Duke.
5.
Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause harm to Duke because it would allow competitors in the nuclear industry to benefit from the results ofa significant development program without requiring a commensurate expense or allowing Duke to recoup a portion ofits expenditures or benefit from the sale of the information.
