Dear Mr. Quay:

Reference I sets forth the NRC assessment of the Westinghouse claim for treatment of proprietary L information submitted by Westinghouse in a letter dated May 15,1995, which letter provided Westinghouse report PCS-T2R-050, "Large Scale Test Data Evaluation, May 1995." The NRC assessment was that with the exception of Figure 1-3, "Large-scale PCS instrumentation Elevations" located on page 1-8, the material identified as proprietary would be withheld. The staff claimed that the identified figure was available to the public through other Westinghouse reports. In a telephone {D call with Ms. Jackson on January 29,1996, Westinghouse agreed that the identified figure was not

- proprietary. Ms. Jackson indicated that the identified figure would be placed in the Public Document _

Room. This letter provides written confirmation that the identified figure is not considered proprietary by Westinghouse. /o s a' k PDR A ADOCK 05200003 PDR

Reference 2 sets forth the NRC assessment of the Westinghouse claim for treatment of proprietary l information submitted by Westinghouse in a letter dated October 28,1996, which letter provided j formal documentation of informal correspondence sent to the NRC by Westinghouse for the period  !

September 23,1996 through October 24,1996. The NRC assessment was that the nonproprietary I version of the document was not acceptable. A revised nonproprietary version of the attachment to Reference 2 was provided in Reference 3. This revised nonproprietary version of the document l included summaries of the proprietary material in those few instances where it had been removed. )

i Reference 4 sets forth the NRC assessment of the Westinghouse: claim for treatment of proprietary information submitted by Westinghouse in a letter dated October 16,1996, which letter provided fission product transport calculations and fission product source rates for the AP600. The NRC assessment was no information was identified as being proprietary and that no nonproprietary version of the document was provided. The information provided in the Westinghouse letter of October 16, 1996, was similar to that provided in the AP600 probabilistic risk assessment on June 26,1992. The proprietary information in that report, and subsequent updates, was addressed in Reference 5.

Reference 5 indicates the information related to fission product transport calculations and fission l product source rates for the AP600 is no longer considered proprietary and the October 16,1996, letter can be placed in the public document room.
