EPU LAR Supplement 21 Attachment 2Response to RAI -EMCB-SD Page 1 of 118Response to Request for Additional InformationMechanical and Civil Engineering Branch (EMCB) -Steam Dryer (SD),By letter dated September 28, 2012, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon)submitted a license amendment request for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station(PBAPS), Units 2 and 3. The proposed amendment would authorize an increase in themaximum power level from 3514 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3951 MWt. Therequested change, referred to as an extended power uprate (EPU), represents anincrease of approximately 12.4 percent above the current licensed thermal power level.The NRC staff has reviewed the information supporting the proposed amendment and,by letter dated October 1, 2013 (NRC Accession No. ML13268A263), requestedadditional information. Exelon provided responses to EMCB-SD-RAIs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11,12 and 14 (RAIs-5 and 9 were deleted) in a letter dated October 31, 2013 (Supplement14, NRC Accession No. ML13308A331). The response to EMCB-SD-RAI-10 wasprovided in a letter dated December 6, 2013 (Supplement 15, NRC Accession No.ML13345A687). The responses to EMCB-SD-RAI-8, 13 and15 are provided below.In addition, the NRC provided a second round of requests for additional information byletter dated January 15, 2014 (NRC Accession No. ML14002A176). The responses toEMCB-SD-RAIs 19, 21-26, 28-29, 31 and 33-39 (EMCB-SD-RAIs 18, 20 and 27 havebeen deleted) were provided in a letter dated January 31, 2014 (Supplement 19, NRCAccession No. ML14035A158). The responses to EMCB-SD-RAIs 16-17, 30 and 40 areprovided below.Responses to the remaining RAIs (i.e., 32 and 41) will be provided in March 2014.EMCB-SD-RAI-8For PBAPS Units 2 and 3, please provide the following for the 10 lowest alternatingstress ratio locations:a) Frequency spectra for maximum alternating stresses; andb) Stress accumulation plots (root mean square (RMS) stress as a function ofincreasing frequency).Please explain whether any other information (e.g., magnitude of stress as a function offrequency) besides the frequency content of stress may be derived from the plots.Based on the plots, discuss the relative importance of the various forcing functions (e.g.,valve resonances, broad-band acoustic pulsations) on the RSD alternating stresses.RESPONSETable RAI-8-1 lists the ten lowest stress ratio locations for Peach Bottom Atomic PowerStation (PBAPS) Unit 2 with the instrumentation mast from the cumulative results shownin Tables 8-5 and 8-6 of WCAP-17609-P Revision 2.

These figures and table displayconsiderable differences between PBAPS Units 2 and 3, although these units aresupposed to be identical and have similar specific bias and uncertainties, as listed inTable 3-3. Please explain the sources of these relatively large differences in the totalRMS differential pressure (Table 3-5) and the broadband excitation at low and highfrequencies, especially on the dryer quadrants A and C. Provide contour plots of thedifferential pressures on the dryers of PBAPS 2 and 3 over all four quadrants for: (a) allsignals between 0 and 250 Hz; (b) signals between 0 and 60 Hz; (c) signals spanningthe SRV resonance near 130 Hz; and (d) signals spanning the blind flange resonancenear 220 Hz. These plots should use a common contour color scale so that the plotsmay be easily compared. Also, provide overlays of the PBAPS 2 and 3 raw and filteredMSL spectra for all eight locations (e.g., plot PBAPS 2 versus PBAPS 3 MSL location 1unfiltered, PBAPS 2 versus PBAPS 3 MSL location 1 filtered, PBAPS 2 versus PBAPS 3MSL location 2 unfiltered, etc.). Additionally, overlay the monopole and dipole terms forPBAPS 2 and 3 for each MSL inlet.

It isindicated that you use a procedure similar to that used for the [], c steam dryer model, with the exception of using [ ]a,c instead of shellsembedded within solids to connect different sections. You also cite internal studiesshowing the use of [ ]ac actually reduces uncertainty slightly, but do not take creditfor this in the PBAPS EPU application. You point out that on-dryer measurements areplanned to confirm the "...conservatism in the predicted ACM 4.1 results prior toexceeding CLTP." Based on the above, the NRC staff requests the following informationregarding this subject:Please submit a detailed instrumentation and measurement plan to measure naturalfrequencies and mode shapes, pressures acting on the dryer, and the dryer strains andaccelerations to confirm that the dryer stresses are within acceptable limits. This planshould include how the measurement locations are relevant to the high loading andstress regions in the dryer and a priori predictions of the expected strain and pressurespectra and peaklrms values. You should consider ensuring that both the upper dryer,including the different hood sections, and the lower dryer (skirt) are sufficientlyinstrumented.RESPONSEThe NRC performed an audit of the PBAPS RSD data at the Westinghouse office inRockville, Maryland on August 9, 2013 and September 12, 2013. During that audit, EGCpresented various topics including the on-dryer instrumentation plan for Peach BottomUnit 2. Excerpts from the information presented in those audit meetings are included EPU LAR Supplement 21Response to RAI -EMCB-SDAttachment 2Page 42 of 118below in our response to this RAI.

I am Principal Engineer, Plant Licensing, in Engineering, Equipment and Major Projects,Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse), and as such, I have been specificallydelegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from publicdisclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rule making proceedings, and amauthorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Westinghouse.(2) 1 am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390 of theCommission's regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse Application for WithholdingProprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Affidavit.(3) L have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designatinginformation as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, thefollowing is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the informationsought 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 inconfidence by Westinghouse.(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and notcustomarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining thetypes of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes asystem to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.The application of that system and the substance of that system constitute Westinghousepolicy and provide the rational basis required.Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of severaltypes, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitiveadvantage, 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 3CAW-1.4-3920competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economicadvantage over other companies.(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (orcomponent, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures acompetitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve hiscompetitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance ofquality, or licensing a similar product.(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, orcommercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer fundeddevelopment plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.(iii) There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include thefollowing:(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitiveadvantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protectthe Westinghouse competitive position.(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which suchinformation is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sellproducts and services involving the use of the information.(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage byreducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.

4CAW- 14-3920(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitiveadvantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. Ifcompetitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one componentmay be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of acompetitive advantage.(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence ofWestinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to thecompetition of those countries.(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and developmentdepends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.(iv) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under theprovisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.(v) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or availableinformation has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to thebest of our knowledge and belief.(vi) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which isappropriately marked in Attachment I "Response to Request for Additional Information -ENMCB-SD -Proprietary," attached to Exelon Generation submittal to the NRC "ExtendedPower Uprate License Amendment Request -Supplement 21, Response to Request forAdditional Information" for submittal to the Commission, being transmitted by ExelonGeneration letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from PublicDisclosure, to the Document Control Desk. The proprietary information as submitted byWestinghouse is to assist the NRC in their review of the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station,Units 2 and 3, License Amendment Request for Extended Power Uprate and may be used onlyfor that purpose.

5CAW-14-3920(a) This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to:(i) Assist Exelon Generation in obtaining NRC review of the Peach BottomAtomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 License Amendment Request.(b) Further this infbrmation has substantial commercial value as follows:(i) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of this information to its customers forpurposes of plant specific replacement steam dryer analysis for licensingbasis applications.(ii) Its use by a competitor would improve their competitive position in thedesign and licensing of a similar product for BWR steam dryer analysismethodology.(iii) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspectsof a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse.Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to thecompetitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors toprovide similar technical justifications and licensing defense services for commercial powerreactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information wouldenable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentationwithout purchasing the right to use the information.The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result ofapplying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and theexpenditure of a considerable sum of money.In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technicalprograms would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having tierequisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.Further the deponent sayeth not.

Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining thetypes of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes asystem to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.The application of that system and the substance of that system constitutes Westinghousepolicy and provides the rational basis required.Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of severaltypes, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitiveadvantage, 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 3CAW- 14-3909competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economicadvantage over other companies.(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (orcomponent, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures acompetitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve hiscompetitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance ofquality, or licensing a similar product.(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, orcommercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer fundeddevelopment plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.(iii) There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include thefollowing:(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitiveadvantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protectthe Westinghouse competitive position.(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which suchinformation is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sellproducts and services involving the use of the information.(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage byreducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.

4CAW-14-3909(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitiveadvantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. Ifcompetitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one componentmay be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of acompetitive advantage.(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence ofWestinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to thecompetition of those countries.(t) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and developmentdepends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.(iv) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under theprovisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.(v) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or availableinformation has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to thebest of our knowledge and belief.(vi) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which isappropriately marked in WCAP-17639-P, Revision 3, "Instrumentation Description for thePeach Bottom Unit 2 Replacement Steam Dryer" (Proprietary) for submittal to theCommission, being transmitted by Exelon Generation letter and Application for WithholdingProprietary Information from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk. Theproprietary information as submitted by Westinghouse is that associated with the review of theReplacement Steam Dryer design and analysis which is a part of the Extended Power UprateLicense Amendment Request for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, and may be used only for thatpurpose.

5CAW-14-3909(a) This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to:(i) Assist Exelon Generation in obtaining NRC review of the Peach BottomAtomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 License Amendment Request.(b) Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:(i) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of this information to its customers forpurposes of plant specific replacement steam dryer analysis for licensingbasis applications.(ii) Its use by a competitor would improve their competitive position in thedesign and licensing of a similar product for BWR steam dryer analysismethodology.(iii) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspectsof a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse.Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to thecompetitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors toprovide similar technical justifications and licensing defense services for commercial powerreactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information wouldenable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentationwithout purchasing the right to use the information.The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result ofapplying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and theexpenditure of a considerable sum of money.In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technicalprograms would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having therequisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.Further the deponent sayeth not.

Maurer, Principal EngineerPlant LicensingSworn to and subscribed before methis 14th day of February 2014Notary PublicMS7, 2016MEMER, PENNSYLVANL4 ASSOCIA71ON OF NOTAPJES 2CAW-14-3915(1) I am Principal Engineer, Plant Licensing, in Engineering, Equipment and Major Projects,Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse), and as such, I have been specificallydelegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from publicdisclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rule making proceedings, and amauthorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Westinghouse.(2) 1 am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390 of theCommission's regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse Application for WithholdingProprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Affidavit.(3) 1 have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designatinginformation as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, thefollowing is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the informationsought 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 inconfidence by Westinghouse.(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and notcustomarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining thetypes of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes asystem to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.The application of that system and the substance of that system constitutes Westinghousepolicy and provides the rational basis required.Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of severaltypes, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitiveadvantage, 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 3CAW-14-3915competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economicadvantage over other companies.(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (orcomponent, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures acompetitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve hiscompetitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance ofquality, or licensing a similar product.(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, orcommercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer fundeddevelopment plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.(iii) There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include thefollowing:(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitiveadvantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protectthe Westinghouse competitive position.(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which suchinformation is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sellproducts and services involving the use of the information.(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage byreducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.

4CAW-14-3915(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitiveadvantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. Ifcompetitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one componentmay be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of acompetitive advantage.(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence ofWestinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to thecompetition of those countries.(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and developmentdepends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.(iv) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under theprovisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.(v) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or availableinformation has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to thebest of our knowledge and belief.(vi) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which isappropriately marked in WCAP-1 7590-P, Revision 2, "Peach Bottom Units 2 & 3Replacement Steam Dryer Acoustic Load Definition" (Proprietary) for submittal to theCommission, being transmitted by Exelon Generation letter and Application for WithholdingProprietary Information from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk. Theproprietary information as submitted by Westinghouse is that associated with the review of theReplacement Steam Dryer design and analysis which is a part of the Extended Power UprateLicense Amendment Request for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, and may be used only for thatpurpose.

5CAW-14-3915(a) This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to:(i) Assist Exelon Generation in obtaining NRC review of the Peach BottomAtomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 License Amendment Request.(b) Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:(i) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of this information to its customers forpurposes of plant specific replacement steam dryer analysis for licensingbasis applications.(ii) Its use by a competitor would improve their competitive position in thedesign and licensing of a similar product for BWR steam dryer analysismethodology.(iii) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspectsof a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse.Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to thecompetitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors toprovide similar technical justifications and licensing defense services for commercial powerreactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information wouldenable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentationwithout purchasing the right to use the information.The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result ofapplying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and theexpenditure of a considerable sum of money.In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technicalprograms would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having therequisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.Further the deponent sayeth not.
