ENCLOSURE 8 TerraPower, LLC Affidavit and Request for Withholding from Public Disclosure (10 CFR 2.390(a)(4))
Public NRC Staff Exhibit NRC-004I
TerraPower, LLC Affidavit and Request for Withholding from Public Disclosure (10 CFR 2.390(a)(4))
I, George Wilson, hereby state:
- 1. I am the Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and I have been authorized by TerraPower, LLC (TerraPower) to review information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with the development, testing, licensing, and deployment of the NatriumTM reactor and its associated fuel, structures, systems, and components, and to apply for its withholding from public disclosure on behalf of TerraPower.
- 2. The information sought to be withheld, in its entirety, is contained in Enclosures 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14, which accompanies this Affidavit.
- 3. I am making this request for withholding, and executing this Affidavit as required by 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).
- 4. I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by TerraPower in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information that would be protected from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4).
- 5. The information contained in Enclosures 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 accompanying this Affidavit contains non-public details of the TerraPower regulatory and developmental strategies intended to support NRC staff review.
- 6. Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(4), the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information in Enclosures 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 should be withheld:
- a. The information has been held in confidence by TerraPower.
- b. The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by TerraPower and not customarily disclosed to the public. TerraPower has a rational basis for determining the types of information that it customarily holds in confidence and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.
The application and substance of that system constitute TerraPower policy and provide the rational basis required.
- c. The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390, it is received in confidence by the Commission.
- d. This information is not available in public sources.
- e. TerraPower asserts that public disclosure of this non-public information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of TerraPower, because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar products and services by reducing their expenditure of resources using similar project methods, equipment, testing approach, contractors, or licensing approaches.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
