Information which,_if used 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 of a similar product; 3.
The information identified-is classified as proprietary because it would provide other parties, including competitors, with information related to detailed results of analytical models, methods and processes, including computer codes, which GE has developed, requested NRC approval of, and applied to' perform evaluations of the BWR.
The development of the evaluation process along with the' interpretation and application of-the analytical results is derived from the. extensive experience database that constitutes a major GE asset.
- 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 information.
Therefore, the versions of the submitted information marked as proprietary i
will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and j {

't Mr. Thomas E. Boulette 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, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.
If the basis for withholding this information 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 also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information.
In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination advarse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public ditclosure.
Sincerely.
