July 10,1998 Mr. Brian A. McIntyre, Manager Advanced Plant Safety & Licensing Westinghouse Electric Corporation Energy Systems Business Unit P.O. Box 355 Pittsburgh, PA 15230
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR WESTINGHOUSE AP600 LETTERS OF SEPTEMBER 20,1993, JANUARY 21,1994, AND FEBRUARY 3,1994
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
Enclosed with this letter is a table of Westinghouse letters you submitted which contain proprietary material that was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory staff for review.
In these letters, you identify information which you consider proprietary and request that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790. The subject materialis provided via enclosure to each letter in both a proprietary and nonproprietary form. Each letter is supported by an affidavit which claims, in part, that the information is classified as proprietary because "The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money." in addition, the affidavits also state that this information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons (as specifically noted on the enclosed table):
The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, a.
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.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability, c.
fis 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.
We have reviewed your submittal and the materialin accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of Westinghouse's statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld does not contain trade secrets or proprietary commercial information. Specifically, the material is similar to the material that exists in current non-proprietary documents (e.g., the AP600 probabilistic risk assessment, and WCAP-13914,
" Framework for AP600 Severe Accident Management Guidance). In addition, the material was used by the staff in the development of the (traft safety evaluation report for the AP600, and g
therefore, it should remain on the docket.

Mr. Brian A. McIntyre July 10,1998 in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(c), this letter is being forwarded to you as notice that the enclosure will be placed in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Public Document Room thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. If within thirty (30) days of this letter, you request withdrawal of these documents in accordance with 10 CFR Section 2.790(c), or provide additional reasons for the withholding of information from the documents enclosed, your request will be considered in light of applicable statutes and regulations and a determination made whether the documents will be withheld from public disclosure or returned to you.
