- of letter T1213-CO-00009, dated 06/07/2021 v 1014-SR-00002, Rev. 0 Safety Analysis Report Dry Storage System CASTOR geo69
- of letter T1213-CO-00014, dated 21/12/2022 v1014-SR-00002, Rev. 1 Safety Analysis Report Dry Storage System CASTOR geo69 We have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by GNS Gesellschaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH in designating information as a proprietary trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) (4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the
information sought to be withheld from public disclosure; included in the above referenced document, should be withheld.
(1)
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure involves certain design details
- associated with the SAR analyses and SAR drawings of the CASTOR geo69 design, which are owned and have been held in confidence by GNS Gesellschaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH.
(2)
The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by GNS Gesellschaft fOr Nuklear-Service mbH and not customarily disclosed to the public. GNS Gesellschaft fOr Nuklear-Service mbH has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it.
(3)
The information is being transferred to the Commission in confidence under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390 with the understanding that it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
(4)
The information, to the best of our knowledge and belief, is not available in public sources, and any disclosure to third parties has been made pursuant to regulatory provisions or confidentiality agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence.
(5)
Public disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of GNS Gesellschaft far Nuklear-Service mbH because:
(a)
A similar product is manufactured and sold by competitors of GNS Gesellschaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH.
(b)
Development of this information by GNS Gesellschaft fOr Nuklear-Service mbH required expenditure of considerable resources. To the best of our knowledge and belief, a competitor would have to undergo similar expense in generating equivalent information.
(c)
In order to acquire such information, a competitor would also require considerable time and inconvenience related to the development of a design and analysis of a cask for the dry storage and transport of spent nuclear fuel.
(d)
The information required significant effort and expense to obtain the licensing approvals necessary for application of the information. Avoidance of this expense would decrease a competitor's cost in applying the information and marketing of the product to which the information is applicable.
(e)
The information consists of design features, analyses methods and calculation results related to the design and analyses of a cask for the dry storage and transport of spent fuel, the application of which provide a competitive economic advantage. The availability of such information to competitors would enable them to modify their product to unfairly get a better competitive position with GNS Gesellschaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH, take marketing or other actions to improve their product's position or impair the position of GNS Gesel!schaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH's product, while avoiding the expense of developing similar data and analyses in support of their processes, methods or apparatus.
(f)
In pricing GNS Gesellschaft far Nuklear-Service mbH's products and services, significant research, development, engineering, analytical, licensing, quality assurance and other costs and expenses must be included. The ability of GNS Gesellschaft fOr Nuklear-Service mbH's competitors to utilize such information without similar expenditure of resources may enable them to sell at prices reflecting significantly lower costs.
