General Electric Company AFFIDAVIT I, Rudolph Villa, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:

1. I am Manager, Consulting Services, General Electric Company, and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph 2 which is sought to be with-held and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.
2. The information sought to be withheld is the attached portion of the ABWR Standard Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) Chapter 1, Introduction and General Description of Plant, Chapter 3, Design of Structures, Components, Equipment, and Systems, Chapter 7,Instmmentation and Control Systems, Chapter 9, Auxiliary Systems, Chapter 11, Radioactive Waste Afanagement, Chapter 15, Accident Analysis, Chapter 19, Response to Severe Accident Policy Statement.
3. In designating material as proprietary, General Electric utilizes the definition of proprietary information and trade secrets set forth in the American Law Institute's Restatement of Torts, Section 757. This definition provides:

"A trade secret may consist of any formula, pattern, device or compilation of infor-mation which is used in one's business and which gives him an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.. . A substantial element of secrecy must exist, so that, except by the use of improper means, there would be difficulty in acquiring information.... Some factors to be considered in determining whether given information is one's trade secret are: (1) the extent to which the information is known outside of his business; (2) the extent to which it is known by employees and others involved in his business; (3) the extent of mea-sures taken by him to guard the secrecy of the information; (4) the value of the in-formation to him and to his competitors;(5) the amount of effort or money ex-panded by him in developing the information; (6) the ease or difficulty with the which the information could be properly acquired or duplicated by others."

4. Some examples of categories ofinformation which fit into the definition of proprietary infor-mation are:
a. Information that disclosed a process, method or apparatus 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 consisting of supporting data and analyses, including test data, relative to a i process, method or apparatus, the application of which provide a competitive economic j advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability;  !
c. Information which if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or l improve his competitive position in the design, ma lufacture, shipment, installation, as-  ;

surance of quality or licensing of a similar product; j

d. Information wh.% reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels or commercial strategies of General Electric, its customers or suppliers; l

l

e. Information which reveals aspects of past, present or future General Electric cus-tomer-funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to General Electric:
f. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection;
g. Information which General Electric must treat as proprietary according to agreements with other parties.

- 5. In addition to proprietary treatment given to material meeting the standards enumerated above, General Electric customarily maintains in confidence preliminary and draft material which has not been subject to complete proprietary, technical and editorial review. This prac-tice is based on the fact that draft documents often do not appropriately reflect all aspects of a problem, may contain tentative conclusions and may contam errors that can be corrected during normal review and approval procedures. Also, until the final document is nmplete it may not be possible to make any definitive determination as to its propriett ry nature.

General Electric is not generally willing to release such a document in such a p mliminary form. Such documents are, however, on occasion furni:.hed to the NRC staff on a confiden-tial basis because it is General Electric's belief that it is in the public interest for r 'e staff to be promptly furnished with significant or potentially significant information. Furnishing the document on a confidential basis pending completion of General Electric's internal review permits early acquaintance of the staff with the information while protecting General Electric's potential proprietary position and permitting General Electric to insure the public documents are technically accurate and correct.

6. Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is typically made by the Subsection manager of the originating component, who is most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge. Access to such documents within the Company is limited on a "need to know" basis and such documents are clearly identified as proprietary. i
7. The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically requires review by the Subsection Manager, Project manager, Principal Scientist or other equivalent author- .

ity, by the Subsection Manager of the cognizant Marketing function (or delegate) and by the l Legal Operation for technicel con'ent, competitive effect and determination of the accuracy {

of the proprietary designation in accordance with the standards enumerated above. Disclo- 1 sures outside General Electric are generally limited to reguintory bodies, customers and po- l tential customers and their agents, suppliers and licensees then only with appropriate protec- i tion by applicable regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements. l l

8. The document mentioned in paragraph 2 above has been evaluated in accordance with the  !

I above criteria and procedures and has been found to contain information which is propri-etary and which is customarily held in confidence by General Electric.

1

9. The information to the best of my knowledge and belief has consistently been held in confi- I dence by the General Electric Company, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures to third parties have been made pursuant to regulatory provisions of proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the infor-  !

mation in confidence. l i

10. The two computer codes mentioned in paragraph 2 above are classified as proprietary l l

Affidavit Page 2

! because they contain details of GB design which are not available to other parties. The infor-mation is of a type customarily held in confidence by GE since it reveals valuable design in-

' formation obtained at considerable expense to GE.
