I, Richard T.
Haelsig, being first sworn, dispose and say:
1.
That I am President and a duly elected officer of Nuclear Packaging, Inc.,
1010 South 336th Street, Federal Way, Washington 98003; 2.
That I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing proprietary information sought to be withheld f rom public disclosure and am authorized on behalf of the company to apply for its withholding; 3.
That the inf ormation sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or privileged or confidential commercial or financial inf ormation, the release of which would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Nuclear Packaging, Inc. and/or AB Elekta Instrument; and 4.
That the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is specifically identified below:
Drawing JR-20-100D, Sheet 3 (Appendix 1.3)
Figures 2.3-1 and 2.3-2 Foam Stress-Strain Properties.
Tables 2.11.2.1-1 through 2.11.2.6-2 (Appendix 2.11.2), Detailed results from drop programs.
\\
i All the information referenced above may be found in " Safety Analysis Report for the ELEKTA TIGER Type B Container".
Further, and in response to 10 CFR 2.790 (b) (4) :
(1)
The information has heretofore been held in confidence by Nuclear Packaging, Inc.;
(ii) the information is customarily held in confidence by Nuclear Packaging, Inc. since, to disclose such information would benefit NuPac's competitors in future packaging designs; (iii) the information has been transmitted to and, to the best of our knowledge, received by the NRC in confidence; (iv) the inf ormation is not now, nor is it intended in the future to be, in the public domain; should any of NuPac's competitors obtain said proprietary information, they would benefit commercially and to the detriment of Nuclear Packaging, Inc.
(v) public disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of NuPac, particularly in light of the extensive engineering and financed effort which NuPac hac put forth, to wit:
(1) NuPac has been in the business of designing, licensing and fabricating Type B transportation packages for over 8 years and during this time has developed and refined analytical and design techniques that enable said packages to meet or exceed all applicable federal codes and regulations including 10 CFR 71, (2).
Public disclosure of said inf ormation would put NuPac's competitive position in jeopardy, as it would cause NuPac to lose the design and performance advantages over its competitors which it currently offers to its customers.
This would result in substantial loss of sales revenue which, i
l
in part, are necessary to offset the large expen-ditures which NuPac has invested, or caused to be invested, in the development of transportation packaging designs based on and utilizing this proprietary design.
