Dear Mr. Wiesemann:

SUBJECT:

WITHH01. DING FROM PURI.IC DISCl.0SURE "Al.TERNATIVE PIPE AREAK CRITERIA - ACCUMUI.ATOR I.INF" - SOUTP TEXAS PROJECT, l' NITS 1 & 2 - CAW-86-100 13y Houston I.ighting and Power Company letter, dated November 14, 1986, and Westinghouse letters, dated October 29, 1986 and affidavit, dated November 21, 1984, you submitted a Meetino Presentation, dated October 15, 1986 on the Alternative Pipe Break Criteria - Accumulator 1.ine and reauested that it be withbeid from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. A non-proprietary version of this presentation was also subnitted and has been placed in the NRC's Public Document Rooms.

You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

1. The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinohouse.

The information is not available in public sources and was submitted to the NRC in confidence and received in confidence.

2. The information is marketable in many ways and the extent to which the information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of this information. Release of this information to the public would diminish the competitive status of Westinchouse.

We have determined that the infortration submitted on " Alternative Pipe Break Criteria - Accumulator I.ine" on the South Texas Proiect dockets, marked as proprietarv, should be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.740(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as arrended.

We therefore approve your request for withholdino pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 and are withholding the above stated docueent from public inspection as proprietary.

If the need arises, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, insure that the consultants have sianed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should chance in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You should also understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, such as if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act reouest includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC needs additional information from you or nakes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.
