My name is Timothy J. Tate. I am the Manager, Environmental, Health, Safety and Licensing for Framatome Inc. (Framatome) at Framatomes Richland, Washington facility and as such I am authorized to execute this Affidavit.

Proprietary Information submitted under 10 CFR § 2.390
- 4.
Framatome is engaged in the business of designing and manufacturing nuclear fuel assemblies for commercial nuclear reactors. Within the United States, there are two additional firms that design and manufacture nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear reactors and there are several other companies outside of the United States that engage in the same business as Framatome. Competition among these companies including Framatome is fierce and manufacturing costs of the nuclear fuel are critical to the maintenance of market share and to the growth of market share among utility customers.
- 5.
The application for the License Amendment utilizing Framatome TN-B1 Docket No. 71-9372 Safety Analysis Report, FS1-0014159 contains commercial information of a confidential nature that is not available in public sources or available to the public. This information contained in this report is commercial and confidential because it reveals specific information about the Framatome Richland manufacturing facility relative to its production throughput.
All of this information can be used by competitors to gain undue insight into Framatomes commercial relationships, probable cost structure, operations and business.
- 6.
Framatome Inc. will suffer considerable competitive harm if the contents of the license amendment package are made available to Framatome domestic and international competitors. Finally, this material cannot be reasonably segregated from other material which may not meet the criteria set forth in 10 CFR § 2.390.
