SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 (EPID L-2019-PMP-0031)

Dear Ms. Basta:

By letter dated December 14, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23349A052), you submitt ed an affidavit executed on November 17, 2023, by Zachary Harper, Senior Manager, Licensing Engineering, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse). By this letter, you requested that the information contained in the following document be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Section 2.390 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR):

CPL-RV010-TM-CA-000013, Revision 0, H. B. Robinson Unit 2 Baffle Former Bolt Predictive Evaluation (Proprietary)

A Nonproprietary, redacted copy of this document has been placed in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Public Docu ment Room and added to the NRC Library in ADAMS (Enclosure 2 to ML23349A052).

The affidavit stated that the submitted infor mation should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

(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.

(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.

The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and based on the st atements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure. Therefore, the version of the L. Basta

submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Withholding from public inspection shall not affect the right, if any, of persons properly and directly concerned to inspect the documents. If the need arises, we may send copies of the information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

If the basis for withholding this information from public inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all revi ew situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-0272.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Luke Haeg, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch II-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
