NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON D. C. 20555 MAY 2 41985 Docket Nos.: STN 50-482 and STN 50-483 Mr. Robert A. Wiesemann, Manager Regulatory & Legislative Affairs Westinghouse Electric Corporation P. 0. Box 355 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230
Dear. Mr. Wiesemann:
Subject:
Withholding Information From Public Disclosure - CAW-84
- WCAP-10690 & WCAF-10691 " Technical Bases for Eliminating large Primary Loon pipe Rupture as a Structural Design Basis for Callaway and Wolf Cn.ek Plants" 4
By your application and affidavit, dated October 18, 1984 and September.26, 1983, respectively, WCAP-10690, non-proprietary version and WCAP-10691, proprietary version of reports entitled " Technical Bases for Eliminating Large Primary Loop Pipe Ruoture as a Structural Design Basis for Callaway and Wolf Creek Plants," were transmitted by SNUPPS cover letter dated October 26, 1984. You requested that WCAP-10691, the proprietary version of this report be withheld from public_ disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR-2.790.
Discussions among Westinghouse and NRC technical / legal staffs regarding the
. release of information considered by Westinghouse to be proprietary have resulted in Westinghouse agreeing to permit the NRC staff to release infor-mation concerning mechanistic fracture mechanics analyses of RCS primary loop piping and large Class 1 piping attached to the RCS. The information which Westinghouse agreed to release n stated in a letter to Darrell G. Eisenhut,-
dated November 15, 1984 is as foiiws:
1.
Plant parameters (operating temperatures, operating pressures, pipe dimensions) 2.
Margin numbers (e.g., a factor of 10 on a specific criteria) 3.
Specific plant moments and forces ~~~
4.
Reference to tL analytical methods used (i.e., limit load) 5.
Leak rates 6.
Reference crack size Other than the items indicated above the report is considered to be proprietary.
You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandstory public disclosure for the following reasons:
The use of information developed by Westinghouse gives Westing-hcuse a competitive advantage over its competitors.
It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse

competitive position. The information is marketable in many ways and the extent to which it is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information. Use of the information by a competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing the expenditure of resources at Westinghouse expense.
~ We have reviewed your application and the material based on the requirements and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse and SNUPPS statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be with-held contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.
We have determined that WCAP-10691 " Technical Bases for Eliminating Large Primary Loop Pipe Rupture as a Structural Design Basis for Callaway and Wolf Creek Plants," marked as proprietary, should 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.
We, therefore, approve your request for withholding pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 and are withholding WCAP-10691 " Technical Bases for Eliminating Large Primary Loop Pipe Rupture as a Structural Design Basis for Callaway and Wolf Creek Plants" from public inspection as proprietary.
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, insure 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 fc public inscection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You should also understana that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, such as if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information.
In all review situations, if the NRC needs additional f
information from you or makes a determination adverse to the above, you will
~
be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
