I AW-97.ll84 (1)' I am Manager, Advanced Plant Safety And 1.icensing, in the New Plant Projects Division, of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and as such, I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rulemaking proceedings, and em authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of the Westinghonse Energy Systems Bus....ss Unit.

(2) I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10CFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse application for l withholding accompenying this Affidavit. 1

-(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria end procedures utilizec Ly the Westinghouse Energy Systems Business Unit in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.

1 1

(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 of the Commission's

- regu!ations, the following is furnished for consids ration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure s.hould be withheld.

(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclssure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.

(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily 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 t( determine when and whether to hold cecain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required.

Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential

- competitive advantage, as follows:

wu ,,e

AW 97.I184 l l

(a) - The informatian reveals the distinguishing a3pects 'of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advaatage over other companies.

(b)_ lt consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, too!, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.

(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improse his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product,-

(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers. .

(c) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.

(0 It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.

There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following:

(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse givo Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Wertinghouse competitive position.

(b) It is information.which is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Wes;inghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.

. u n. .,<

~ AW 971184 -

P (c) . Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage

- by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.

(d)- Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage, if competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any-one component may be the key to the entire purzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.

(c) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prorninence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries.

(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research rid development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

(iii) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, uader the provisions of 10CFR Section 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the - y Comm:ssion.

(iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.

(v) Enclosed is Letter DCP/NRCl123 (NSD-NRC-97-5424), November 11,1997, being transmitted by Westinghouse Electric Corporation (%) letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary information from Public Disclosure, Brian A. McIntyre (W),

to Mr. T. R. Quay, Office of NRR. Tbc proprietary information as submitted for use by Westinghouse Electric Corporation is in response to' questions concerning the

' AP600 plant and the associated design certificction application and is expected to be applicable in othei licem ibmittals in response to certain NRC requirements for

AW.97-1184

. . justification of licensing advanced nuclear power plant d: signs.

This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to:

(a) Demonstrate the design and safety of the AP600 Passive Safety Systems.

-(b) Establish applicable verification testing methods.

.(c) Design Advanced Nuclear Power Plants that meet NRC requirements.

(d) Establish technical and licensing approaches for the AP600 that will ultimately result in a certified design.

1 (c) Assist customers in obtaining NRC approval for future plants.

Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows'.

(a)- Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for advanced plant licenses.

(b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of the technology to its customers in the licensing process.

Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar advanced nuclear power designs and licensing defense services for commercist power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.

'.t-The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of.-

- applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Wes' tinghouse effort - -i g .

and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money, ,

In order for competitors of Westinghouse.to duplicate this information, similar : (

technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, e

having the requi.ite talent atid experience, would have to be expended for developing - .

analytical methods and receiving NRC approval for those methods.

Further the deponent sayeth not.

How phenomena are treated in S f

containment DBA evaluation model

High or Medium ranking during any time phase Phenomena with a High or Medium ranking during any LOCA time phase or during an MSLB need to be considered in the evaluation model. Consideration may include showing that neglecting a phenomenon is conservative for pressure predictions.

Low ranking during all time phases

Phenomena with a Low ranking during allLOCA time phases and during a MSLB i are those that have a small effect on pressure. As a result, it is acceptable to use an available best-estimate or realistic model in the evaluation model. In some cases, the low ranked phenomenon may be neglected if its effect on containment pressure is small or if it would be conservative with respect to l containment pressure to neglect it.

temperature difference- i q/' = as(T4 -T,4y)  !

l 2 2 where the conductance is h, = oef(T,T,y) and f(T,T,y) = (T + T,y)(T + T ,y). The

! character e is the surface eraissivity for surface-to-surface radiation, and the product of the emissivity and beam length for radiation from the containment gas to the surface.

Convection Heat Transfer -

Laminar / Turbulent and Free / Mixed / Forced Convection inside Containment Lam /Turb: Turbulent free convection heat transfer is expected for Grashof number (based on height) > 109 1 This is the case over all but 2 feet or less of height of heat sinks and the shell t The turbulent free convection correlation underestimates heat and mass transfer at Grashot numbers less than 109, so its use is conservative for smaller structures or early time values.

, Free / Mix / Force: Insufficient data are available to support forced or mixed convection models for the inside of containment, so the inside of containment is modeled using turbulent free convection throughout the LOCA and MSLB transients.

Outside Containment The PCS air flow regime is determined from the Eckert and Metais plot.

2. External sprays applied (promotes circulation in cooled region)
3. Internal sprays are active
4. Opening between ccmpartments are large
5. For concrete heat sinks bounding the upper region, the temperature field is not initially stratified
