Dear Mr. O' Leary:
N.J' MONTICELLO NUCLP.AR GENERATING PLANT Docket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 Submittal of NEDE - 20179 Monticello Segmented Test Rod Bundle Submittal (Proprietary Information)
Attached are forty (40) copf es of NEDE - 20179 which supplements the Monticello Second Reload Submittal from L. O. Mayer to J. F. O' Leary dated November 19, 1973, his report has been handled and classified proprietary by General Electric Company in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in Attachment A to this letter.
W is particular information is available on a "need-to-know" basis to General Electric employees.
It has not been previously released outside General Electric Company.
The segmented test rods (STR) use advanced design and materials processes to improve performance and economics which may be applicable for future GE fuel designs.
Wis technical information is of considerable comercial value and this would be lost with any public dimlosure of this information. Also these design features have been obtained at considerable expense to General Electric and public disclosure of this information would allow competitors of General Electric access to this same information without incurring similar costs.
It is therefore requested that this information be held in confidence and not be released for publication or otherwise disclosed in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR2.790.
We have concluded that the loading of the STR bundle described does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
We Monticello Operations Comittee and Safety Audit Committee have reviewed this information.
Our outage is scheduled to comence on February 23, 1974 with fuel loading shortly thereaf ter, and is expected to be completed within two months of that date.
We shall appreciate establishment of a review schedule which will permit timely assembly and shipment of the STR bundle and resumption of plant operation as
- planned, ne attached information is to be used to facilitate your review and approval of the insertion of one STR bundle (8x8) in the Monticello reactor.
We would appreciate limited distribution consistent with proprietary information procedures.

ATTACRMENT A i
PROPRIETARY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM i
)
General Electric proprietary documents contain information and are of the type which General Electric customarily maintains in confidence and w!thholds from 4
public disclosure.
To the best of General Electric's knowledge and belief, i
such documents have consistently been maintained in confidence and no public
{
disclosure has been made of them.
1 i
Documents are classified proprietary pursuant to standard General Electric pro-l cedures pertaining to such classification.
General Electric's definition of proprietary information is similar to that used in the courts to define l
" trade secrets".
The definition encompasses "any fe.rmula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one's business and which gives him an opportunity to obtain an advance over competitors who do not know l
or use it".
Additionally, a substantial element of secrecy must exist, so that, except by the use of improper means, there would be difficulty in ac-quiring the information.
Some factors to be considered in determining whether given information is proprietary are:
(1) the extent to which the information is known outside the business; (2) the extent to which it is e
i known by employees and others involved at General Electric; (3) the extent j
of measures taken to guard the secrecy of the information; (4) the value of the information to General Electric and its competitors; (5) the amount of effort or money expended by General Electric in developing the information; and (6) the ease or difficulty with which the information could be properly acquired or duplicated by others. Additional information treated as con-J fidential' consists of business intelligence such ha busitiess plans, forecasts, financial data and similar information which, if obtained by competition, could compromise the interest of the company.
