(.,/
C0K"ENTS N/A YES' NO 6.3.1.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DESIGN Annunciator warning systems are the primary control room interf ace to immediately alert the coerator to out-of-tolerance changes in plant conoition. Annunciator waming sys-(a) tems consist of three major subsystems:
an auditory alert subsystem,(b) a visual alarm subystem, and (c) an operator response subsystem (see Exhibit 6.3-1). Together, these three subsystems should be designed to provide a preferred operational sequence for annunciator wamings as indicated in Exhioit 6.3.2 6.3.1.2 AL ARM PAR AMETER SELECTION SET POINTS The limits or set points for initiating the annunciator waming a.
system should be established to meet p
D) the fo!!owing goals:
/
Alarms should not occur so fre-(1) quently as to be considered a nuisance by the operators.
However, set points should be (2) established to give operators adequate time to respend to the waming condition before a serious problem develops.
GENERAL ALARMS -
b.
Alarms that require the control (1) room operator to direct an auxiliary operator to a given plant location for specific informatien should be avoided.
If general alarms must be used, (2) they should only be used for con-ditions that allow adequate tirne for auxiliary operator action and subsequent control room operator p
action.

ALARMS -
(1)
Annunciators with inputs from more than one plant parameter set point should be avoided.
Multi-input alarms that sum-marize single-input annunciators elsewhere in the control room are an exception.
(2)
Where multi-input annunciatcrs must be used, an alarm printout capability should be provided.
The specifies of the alarm should be printed on an alarm typer with suf ficient speed and buffer storage to capture all alarm data.
(
(3)
A reflash capability should be provided to allow subsequent alarms to activate the auditory alert mechanism and reflash the visual tile even though the first alarm may not have been cleared.
d.
MULT1-UNIT ALARMS -
(1)
Alarms lor any shared plant sys-tems should be duplicated in a!!
control rooms.

LEVELS OF PRIORITY -
(1)
Prioritization should be accom-plished using a relatively small (2 4) number of priority levels.
(2)
Prioritization should be based on a continuum of importance, severity, or need for operator action in one or more dimensions, e.g., likelihcod cf reactor trip, release of radiation. Exhibit 6.3-3 provides an example of prioritization based on three levels of prioritization..

Q.J.
AFFIDAVIT I, Joseph F. Quirk, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:
1.
I am Manager, BWR Systems Licensing, Nuclear Safety & Licensing Operation, General Electric Company, and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph 2 which is sought to be withheld and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.
2.
The information sought to be withheld is contained in the attached Safety Analysis Report for the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Emergency Response Facilities
-Information System.
3.
In designating material as proprietary, General Electric utilizes the definition of proprietary information and trade secrets set
-forth in the American Law Institute's Restatement Of Torts, Section 757.
This definition provides:
"A trade secret may consist of any formula, pattern, device or
- 4 compilation of information which is used in one's business and G
which gives him an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it....
A substantial element of secrecy must exist, so that, except by the use of improper means, there would be difficulty in acquiring informa-tion....
Some factors to be considered in determining whether given information is one's trade secret are:
(1) the extent to which the information is known outside of his business; (2) the extent to which it is known by employees and others involved in his business; (3) the extent of measures taken by him to guard the secrecy of the information; (4) the value of the information to him and to his competitors; (5) the amount of effort or money expended by him in developing the information; (6) the ease or difficulty with which the information could be properly acquired or duplicated by others."
4.
Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:
1 -
a.
Information that discloses a process, method or apparatus where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competi-tive economic advantage over other companies; i
l b.
Information consisting of supoorting data and analyses, includ-ing test data, relative to a process, method or apparatus, the m
-f
(
)
application of which provide a competitive economic advantage, v
e.g., by optimization or improved marketability; HCP:rm/A12194 12/19/84
c.
Information which if used by a competitor, would reduce his L'
)
expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality or licensing of a similar product; d.
Information which reveals cost or price information, produc-tion capacities, budget levels or commercial strategies of General Electric, its customers or suppliers; e.
Information which reveals aspects of past, present or future General Electric customer-funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to General Electric; f.
Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection; g.
Information which General Electric must treat as proprietary according to agreements with other parties.
5.
In addition to proprietary treatment given to material meeting the standards enumerated above, General Electric customarily maintains in confidence preliminary and draft material which has not been subject to complete proprietary, technical and editorial review.
This practice is based on the fact that draft documents often do not appropriately reflect all aspects of a problem, may contain zm centative conclusions and may contain errors that can be corrected
(
)
during normal review and approval procedures.
Also, until the final document is completed it may not be possible to make any definitive determination as to its proprietary nature.
General Electric is not generally willing to release such a document to the general public in such a preliminary form.
Such documents are, however, on occasion furnished to the NRC staff on a confidential basis because it is General Electric's belief that it is in the public interest for the staff to be promptly furnished with signifi-cant or potentially significant information.
Furnishing the docu-ment on a confidential basis pending completion of General Electric's ini.ernal review permits early acquaintance of the staff with the information while protecting General Electric's potential proprie-tary position and permitting General Electric to insure the public documents are technically accurate and correct.
6.
Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the Subsection Manager of the originating component, the man most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge.
Access to such documents within the Company is limited on a "need to know" basis and such documents at all times are clearly identified as proprietary.
7.
The procedure for approval of external release of such a document is reviewed by the Section Manager, Project Manager, Principal Scientist or other equivalent authority, by the Section Manager of q
the cognizant Marketing function (or his delegate) and by the Legal
(
)
sj HCP:rm/A12194 12/19/84
TD Operation for technical content, competitive effect and deter-
)
mination of the accuracy of the proprietary designation in accord-ance with the standards enumerated above.
Disclosures outside General Electric are generally limited to regulatory bodies, customers and potential customers and their agents, suppliers and licensees only in accordance with appropriate regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements.
8.
The document mentioned in paragraph 2 above has been evaluated in accordance with the above criteria and procedures and has been found to contain information which is proprietary and which is customarily held in confidence by General Electric.
9.
The information mentioned in paragraph 2 provides informaiton ont he Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Emergency Response Facilities Information System which has been designed by General Electric in response to the NRC requirement for a Safety Parameter Display System.
10.
The information to the best of my knowledge and belief, has consistently been held in confidence by the General Electric Company, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources.
All disclosures to third parties have been made pursuant to regulatory provisions of proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence, m
(
)
11.
Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely i j to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the General Electric Company and deprive or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities because:
a.
It is port of a program which was developed with the expenditure of resources exceeding $17,000,000.
b.
Public availability of this information would deprive General Electric of the ability to seek reimbursement, would permit competitors to utilize this information to General Electric's detriment, and would impair General Electric's ability to maintain licensing agreements to the substantial financial and competitive disadvantage of General Electric.
c.
Public availability of the information would allow foreign competitors, including competing BWR suppliers, to obtain information at no cost which General Electric developed at substantial cost. Use of this information by foreign competitors would give them a competitive advantage over General Electric by allowing foreign competitors to develop an Emergency Response Facilities Information System methodology at lower cost than General Electric, g
