SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
- PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NO.1 (TAC NO. M96931)
Dear Mr. Myers:
By letter from FirstEnergy dated July 22,1998 (PY-CEl/NRR-2299L), and Polestar Applied Technology, Inc.'s affidavit, executed by David E. W. Leaver, dated June 29,1998, the following proprietary document was submitted:
PSAT 08401T.03 Perry Plant Total Effective Dose Equivslent (TEDE) Calculations Polestar Applied Technology, Inc. requested that the proprietary information tse withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. Polestar Applied Technology, Inc. stated that the information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
(4)a information that discloses a process or method, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by Polestar's competitors without license from Polestar constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(4)b Information which, if used by a competitor, would significantly reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the analysis, design, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
-(8)
The information identified (as listed) above, is classified as proprietary because it contains detailed information on models in current software which were developed by Polestar and are justified from numerous benchmark exercises and applications, detailed results of these models and analytical methods, and computer codes which Polestar has developed, documented, and is maintaining under the Polestar 10 CFR 50, Appendix B Quality Assurance Program. The model results are from applications of the revised DBA source term to the Perry Nuclear Plant in support of the Cleveland Electric yg Illuminating Company.
The development and documentation of the methods, models, and associated Polestar computer codes used in these analyses was achieved at a significant cost to Polestar,
/g \\
on the order of $50,000, which is a significant fraction of internal research and D
development resources available to a company the size of Polestar.
