SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION (RAI) FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR WESTINGHOUSE AP600 DESIGN LETTER OF OCTOBER 30, 1996 -
J l
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
i By Westinghouse letter NSD-NRC-96-4872, dated October 30, 1996, you submitted information in response to several of the staff's RAls regarding the WG0THIC computer code. You stated that proprietary and non-proprietary versions of the material were provided.
In your letter, the you identify the information that is considered to be proprietary and request that it be withheld from public disclosure in accor-l dance with 10 CFR 2.790. The' enclosed affidavit (AW-96-1031), executed by you on November 1,1996, states that the designated information, owned and held in l
confidence by Westinghouse, should be considered exempt from mandatory public l
disclosure for the following reasons:
(a)
The information reveal s the distinguishing aspects of a process (or j
component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by l
any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitie economic advantage over other companies.
)
i
)
(b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application i
of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
1 i
i We have reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined that some of the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary comercial. information. However, you did not submit a complete non-proprietary version of the proprietary material l
in your non-proprietary submittal. You removed the pages that you consider proprietary without indicating in the non-proprietary version that the pages were missing. Additionally, figure and axis titles are usually not considered proprietary information.
Provided below is a list of figures and the table that you failed to include in your non-proprietary version.
Enclosed is the staff's determination of the information in your letter that the staff g
considers non-proprietary.

4 Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of i
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 3
-this area. We will, of course, ensure.'that the consultants have signed the J
