SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT NO. 2
Dear Mr. Sylvia:
By your application dated December 15,1997, and amdavit dated December 5,1997, executed by Glen A. Waterford of General Electric, you submitted *NMP 2 Cycle 7 SLMCPR," dated December 2,1997, and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. A nonproprietary version was also submitted.
You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
1.
Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies; 2.
Information..hich, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product; 3.
The information identified is classified as proprietary because it contains details of GE's Baiety Limit MCPR analysis and the corresponding results which GE has applied to this specific plant and cycle's actual core design with GE's fuel.
7 0
The development of the methods used in these analysis, along with the testing, development and approval of the supporting critical power correlation was achieved at a significant cost, on the order of several million dollars, to GE.
,g/
We have reviewed your application and the materialin accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withhold contains proprietary commercial information.
Therefore, ihe version (s) of the submitted Information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
