By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated June 17, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 22172A176),
Constellation Energy Generation, LLC submitted an affidavit dat ed June 16, 2022, executed by Kent Halac, Senior Engineer, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LL C (GNF-A). The affidavit requests that marked information in Attachment 3 to the letter be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.390. The letter, affidavit, and the nonproprietary version of Attachment 3 have been made publicly available.
The affidavit stated that the marked information in Attachment 3 to the letter constitutes proprietary trade secret information that should be withheld fr om public disclosure. The affidavit states that this information is proprietary because it is:
- a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GNF-As competitor s without a license from GNF-A constitutes a competitiv e economic advantage over other c ompanies; and
- b. Information that, if used by a competitor, would reduce its expenditure of resources or improve its competitive position in the design, manufacture, sh ipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product.
We have reviewed your letter and the material in accordance wit h the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, based on the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld is proprietary commercial inf ormation and should be withheld from public disclosure. Therefore, the information marked as pr oprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(5) and Section 10 3(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 this

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 inspe ction should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for publ ic 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 review 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 reach ed at 301-415-1380.
Sincerely,
/RA/
