SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FOR WESTINGHOUSE AP600 DESIGN LETTER OF OCTOBER 20,1993
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
By Westinghouse letter ET-NRC-93-3990 dated October 20,1993, you submitted information in
- response to a staff request for additionalinformation regarding the probabilistic risk assessment.
~ : In your letter, you identify the information that is considered to be proprietary and request that it
~f be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790. The enclosed affidavit (AW-93-537) executed by you on October 20,1993, states that the designated information, owned and held in confidence by Westinghouse, should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for several reasons including the following:
)
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, 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)
Its 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 material in 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 the current non-proprietary version of the probabilistic risk assessment for the AP600. In addition, the material was used by the staff in the development of the draft safety evaluation report for the AP600, and therefore, it should remain on the docket.
