and have determined that it contains MHI proprietary information that should be withheld from public disclosure. Those pages containing proprietary information have been bracketed with an open and closed bracket as shown here "[ I" / and should be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.390 (a)(4). | |||
: 3. The information identified as proprietary in the documents has in the past been, and will continue to be, held in confidence by MHI and its disclosure outside the company is limited to regulatory bodies, customers and potential customers, and their agents, suppliers, and licensees, and others with a legitimate need for the information, and is always subject to suitable measures to protect it from unauthorized use or disclosure. | |||
: 4. The basis for holding the referenced information confidential is that it describes unique design, manufacturing, experimental and investigative information developed by MHI and not used in the exact form by any of MHI's competitors. This information was developed at significant cost to MHI, since it is the result of an intensive MHI effort. | |||
: 5. The referenced information was furnished to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission | |||
("NRC") in confidence and solely for the purpose of information to the NRC staff. | |||
: 6. The referenced information is not available in public sources and could not be gathered readily from other publicly available information. Other than through the provisions in paragraph 3 above, MHI knows of no way the information could be lawfully acquired by organizations or individuals outside of MHI. | |||
: 7. Public disclosure of the referenced information would assist competitors of MHI in their design and manufacture of nuclear plant components without incurring the costs or risks associated with the design and the manufacture of the subject component. Therefore, disclosure of the information contained in the referenced document would have the following negative impacts on the competitive position of MHI in the U.S. and world nuclear markets: | |||
A. Loss of competitive advantage due to the costs associated with development of technologies relating to the component design, manufacture and examination. | |||
Providing public access to such information permits competitors to duplicate or mimic the methodology without incurring the associated costs. | |||
B. Loss of competitive advantage of MHI's ability to supply replacement or new heavy components such as steam generators. | |||

The following figure shows the percentage of tubes with tube-to-tube wear (TTW) indications at each range of maximum interstitial velocity at 100% power. In the figure, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B represent steam generators (SGs) 2E089, 2E088, 3E089 and 3E088, respectively. As indicated in Table 8-3 of Reference 1, operating Unit 2 at 70% power reduces the maximum interstitial velocity in the SG secondary side to well below the velocities which resulted in TTW at 100% | |||
