Dear Mr. McNeill:

JPartlow ACRS (10)

Subject:

Request for Withholding Information from Public Disclosure In a letter dated July 11, 1986, you submitted the General Electric report

" Probability of Missile Generation in General Electric Nuclear Turbines" in

' fulfillment of a license condition contained in the low-power license. In your letter, you requested that this report be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. In a letter dated August 26, 1986, you advised us that an affidavit providing a basis for withholding this report from public disclosure was previously submitted in a letter dated February 6,1984 (D. Timo, GE, to T. Ippolito, NRC). You provided a copy of this affidavit as an attachment to your August 26, 1986, letter.

The affidavit, prepared and submitted by the owner of the report, General Electric states that the subject report should be withheld from public dis-closure for the following reasons:

1. The information contained in the report is not routinely available to the public.

2. Public disclosure of the report may cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the report owner.

3. The information was transmitted to the NRC in confidence, by the licensee.

We have reviewed your application and the material against the requirements and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of the statements contained in the General Electric affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary comercial information.

It is our belief, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, that, at this time, the right of the public to be fully apprised of the submitted information does not outweigh the need to protect General Electric's competitive position. Accordingly, we have detennined that the information should be withheld from public disclosure.

8609250358 860918 PDR ADOCK 05000354 P PDR

p.

We, therefore, approve your request for withholding pursuar.t to 10 CFR 2.790 and are withholding the above cited report from public inspection as proprietary.

Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. 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 signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

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

Sincerely,

/S/
