SUBJECT:

WESTINGHOUSE ADVANCED PRESSURIZED PATEP REACTOR (WAPWR) REFEREf'CE SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT, PESAP-SP/90, PRELIMINARY DESIGN APPROVAL APPLICATION REQUEST FOR WITHHOLCING INF0PPATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE By letter dated January 30, 1985 (NS-NRC-85-2994) and its enclosed application (AW-85-002) and affidavit, Westinghouse subritted Arendment I to WAPWR RESAR-SP/90 PDA Module 3, " Introduction and Site" and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

The affidavit referenced by Westirchouse steted that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

1. The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.

2. The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not custonarily disclosed to the public.

Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.

3. The information is beino transmitted to the Connission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the Cormission,

a. The information sought to be protected is not available in rublic sources or available information has not been pre-viously employed in the same original manner or nethod.

5. Public disclosure of this infomation is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse as it would reveal the description of the improved desion features of the WAPWR; Westinghouse plans for future design, testing and analysis aimed at design verification; and demonstratien of the design's capability to reet evolving j NRC/ACRS safety goals.
