SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MA0820)
Dear Mr. Watford:
In Philadelphia Electric Company's February 9,1998, application, the following document was submitted and your affidavit dated January 21,1998, requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790:
Cycle 8 Safety 1.imit MCPR* dated January 20,1998 You indicated that the submitted proprietary information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:
a, information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over
, other companies;
- b. Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of rescurces or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, orlicensing of a similar product;
- c. The information identified in paragraph (2) of your affidavit is classified as proprietary because it contains details of GE's Oafety Limit MCPR analysis and the corresponding results which GE has applied to this specific plant and cycle's actual core design with GE's fuel.
The development of the methods used in these analyses, along with the testing, development and approval of the supporting critical power correlation was achieved at a significant cost, on the order of several million dollars, to GE.
i We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of your statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial infonnation. A non-proprietary
\\
version of the document was submitted for placement in the NRC's public document room.
Nhlg l
Therefore, Attachment 3 (listed above) submitted with Philadelphia Electric Company's h
February 9,1993, letter to the NRC, marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
