AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD B. PRIORY 1.
I am Vice President, Design Engineering Department of Duke Power Company
("Duke") and as such have the responsibility of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing or rule making proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Duke.
2.
I am making this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 52.790 of the regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") and in conjunction with Duke's application for withholding which accompanies this affidavit.
3.
I have knowledge of the criteria used by Duke in designating information as proprietary or confidential.
4.
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) (4) of 10 CFR 52.790, the following is furnished for consideration by the NRC in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld, i)
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned by Duke and has been held in confidence by Duke and its consultants.
ii)
The information is of a type that would customarily be held in confidence by Duke.
The in formation consists of analysis methodology details, analysis results, supporting data, and aspects of development programs, relative to a method of analysis that provides a competitive advantage to Duke.
a) The use of the information by a competitor would greatly reduce its expenditure in qualifying similar methodologies.
b) It reveals aspects of a methodology with potential commercial value to Duke Power.
iii) The information was transmitted to the NRC in confidence and under the provisions of 10 CFR 52.790, it is to be received in confidence by the NRC.
iv)
The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources to the best of our knowledge and belief.
v)
The proptietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is marked in the proprietary version of the report, DPC-NE-20ll, Nuclear Design Methodology for Core Operating Limits of Westinghouse Reactors, and omitted from the non proprietary version.
Richari B. Priory (continued)
AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD B. PRIORY (Page 2)
This information enables Duke to:
a) Perform analyses to support operations of Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.
b) Support license amendment and Technical Specification revision requests for Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.
c) Perform safety reviews per 10 CFR 50.59.
vi)
The proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure has substantial commercial value to Duke.
a)
It allows Duke to reduce vendor and consultant expenses associated with supporting the operation and licensing of nuclear power plants.
b) Duke intends to sell the information to nuclear utilities, vendors and consultants for the purpose of supporting the operation and licensing of nuclear power plants.
1 c) The subject information could only be duplicated by competitors at similar expense to that incurred by Duke.
5.
Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause harm to the position of Duke because it would allow competitors in the nuclear I
industry to benefit from the results of a significant development program without requiring a commensurate expense or allowing Duke to recoup a portion of its expenditures or benefit from the sale of the information.
