Dear Mr. Liparulo:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, WESTINGHOUSE LETTER OF JUNE 30,1997 By your letter (NSD NRC-97 5189) dated June 30,1997, you submitted both proprietary and non-proprietary versions of the response to the NRC request for information regarding the design i
modifications to the Wolf Creek fuel. In letter AW 97-1122, also dated June 30,1997, you requested the proprietary material be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790. This is the response to that request.
I In the affidavit dated July 2,1997, Mr. Henry A. Sepp stated that Westinghouse considered certain information proprietary and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. The affidavit states that this information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
j (a)
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects 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 advantage over other companies.
(b)
It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), tne 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 improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
