Dear Director,

Westinghouse herein submits a request amendment of the license USA/9380/ B(U)F -96 for Model No.

Traveller STD and XL Packages. This amendment is submitted to amend the SAR to correct a typographical error in the license drawings of the top axial restraint component materials. Components have been designed and fabricated to the correct material requirements, as designed and tested shown compliant to regulatory requirements as previously reviewed by NRC staff. The drawing materials are a typographical error, and there is no change in the design or safety performance of the package.

To meet a first of a kind accident tolerant fuel ( ATF), high enrichment lead test assembly (LTA) delivery from Westinghouse UK fuel fabrication facility to the US NPP in July 2023, Westinghouse requests an expedited amendment approval of the NRC by March 1, 2023 to allow for subsequent expedited Competent Authority amendment approvals.

The changes to the license application are documented in Revision 3 of the Safety Analysis Report ( SAR),

marked as Revision 3, 01/2023 in the page header. Changes are also noted in the application Record of Revisions and List of Effective Pages. The revised SAR Revision 3 is provided as non-public, proprietary and public, non-proprietary Enclosure 2.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 AFFIDAVIT AW-23-002 Page 1 of 3

State of South Carolina:

County of Ri chland:

(1) I, Wes Stilwell, Director, NF Transport, have been specifically delegated and authorized to apply for withholding and execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Elec tric Company LLC (Westinghouse).

(2) I am requesting the proprietary portions of L TR-L CP T-2 3-0 1 be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390.

(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information.

(4) Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.

(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse and is not customarily disclosed to the public.

(ii) The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, to Westinghouses knowledge, is not available in public sources.

(iii) Westinghouse notes that a showing of substantial harm is no longer an applicable criterion for analyzing whether a docum ent should be withheld from public disclosure. Nevertheless, public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide s imilar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.

(5) Westinghouse has policies in place to identify proprietary information. Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the relea se of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:

(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.

(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage (e.g., by optimization or improved marketability).

(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.

(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.

(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and pro grams of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.

(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.

(6) The attached documents are bracketed and marked to indicate the bases for withholding. The justification for withholding is indicated in both versions by means of lower -case letters (a) through (f) located as a superscript immediately following the brackets enclosing each item of information being identified as proprietary or in the margin opposite such information. T hese lower-case letters refer to the types of information Westinghouse customarily holds in confidence identified in Sections (5)(a) through (f) of this Affidavit.
