. - Missile F'cobability Analysis Overview L - Siemens Engineering Report ER-9605, " Missile Probability Analysis Methodology for Limerick Generating Station, Urks 1 and 2, With Siemens Retrofit Turbines,"
Revision 2, June 18,1997 - Engineering Report ER-C503, "Probah!!ity of Disk Cracking Due to Stress Cortcslon," Gr,and Gulf Unit 1 March 1985 Attachtr ?nt 5 - Engineering Report ER-8403, " Probability of Disk Cracking Due to Stress Corrosion," Comanche Peak Unit 1, August 1984 - UPC Engineering Report ER-8611 " Turbine Missile Analysis for 1803 rpm -

June 1987)
Attachtnent 8 - Siemens Report, " Theoretical Bases and Cedeulations for Extending the Interval Between Testing cithe Turbine Valves" You indicated that the submitted proprietary information should be considered exempt from rnandatory public disclosure for the fo"owing reasons:
- 1. The Documents contain information which is vital to a competitive advantage of SPC
=I T
[Siemens Power Corporation) and would be Nipful to competitors of SPC when competing with SPC.
Q$
- 2. The information contained in the Documents is considered to be proprietary by SPC because ggt it reveals certain distinguishing aspects of SPC mechanical design methodology which Eg secure competitive advantage to SPC for disc design optirr.ization r.nd marketability, and k
includes information utilized by SPC in its business which affords SPC en opportunity to obtain a competitive advantage over its competitors who do not or may not know or use the u
information con *.ained in the Docurnents.
M
- 3. The disclosure of the proprietary informaticn contained in the Documents to a competitor would permit the competitor to reduce its expenditure of money and manpowsr and to
'@E improve its competitive position by giving it valuable ir, sights into SPC mechanical design N
methodology and would result in substantial harm to the competitive position of SPC.

2-
- 4. Information in these documents provides insights into SPC mechanical design methodology developed by SPC. SPC has invested significant resources in developing the methodology as well as the strategy for this application.
