May 13, 1987 Docket Nos. 50-327/328 Mr. S. A. White Manager of Nuclear Power Tennessee Valley Authority 6N 38A Lookout Place 1101 Market Street Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402-2801

Dear Mr. White:

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING PROPRIETARY INFORMATION ON STEAM GENERATOR U-BEND HEAT TREATMENT Re:

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.

By letter dated March 16, 1987, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) provided a copy of WCAP-11370, " Row I and 2 Heat Treatment Licensing Report for Sequoyah Units 1 and 2," and rec,uested, under 10 CFR 2.790, that it be considered proprietary and treated t.ccordingly.

The document was prepared by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and submitted by TVA as additional information on the heat treatment process which was discussed at a January 2, 1987 meeting hetween members of the staff and TVA.

In its affidavit for withholding the information, Westinghouse identified the following reasons as its basis for the request.

(1) The information is owned by Westinghouse and has been held in confidence.

(2) Westinghouse does not customarily disclose this type of information to the public.

(3) Transmittal of the information is being made in confidence and under 10 CFR 2.790 is to be received by the Commission in confidence.

(4) The information is not available in public sources and has not been previously employed in the same original manner.

l (5) Disclosure of the information would harm the competitive position of Westinghouse.

The staff has reviewed the application and material, based on the require-ments and criteria of 10 CFR 2.790, and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, and has determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information. Therefore, WCAP-11378, NO DON 5

j7 P

.y i

Mr. S. A. White May 13, 1987 marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 102(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

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, the staff may send copies of this information to its consultants working in this area. The staff will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

If it should become known to you in the future that the basis for withhold _

ing this information from public inspection has changed such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. TVA and Westinghouse 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 request includes your informa-tion.

In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, TVA will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.

Sincerely, Original signed by:

John A. Zwolinski, Assistant Director for Projects Division of TVA Projects Office of Special Projects cc: See next page DISTRIBUTION:
