The affidavit stated that the above documents (in their entirety) have been classified by AREVA NP as proprietary in accordance with the policies established by AREVA NP for the control and protection of proprietary and confidential information and should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons: It reveals details of AREVA's NP's research and development plans and programs or their results. Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service. It includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA NP. It reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA NP in product optimization or marketability. It is vital to a competitive advantage held by AREVA NP, and would likely substantial harm to the competitive position of AREVA We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

The affidavit stated that the above documents (in their entirety) have been classified by AREVA NP as proprietary in accordance with the policies established by AREVA NP for the control and protection of proprietary and confidential information and should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

  • It reveals details of AREVA's NP's research and development plans and programs or their results.
  • Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditures, in time or resources, to design, produce, or market a similar product or service.
  • It includes test data or analytical techniques concerning a process, methodology, or component, the application of which results in a competitive advantage for AREVA NP.
  • It reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for AREVA NP in product optimization or marketability.
  • It is vital to a competitive advantage held by AREVA NP, and would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of AREVA NP.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains proprietary commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the 27 aforementioned documents marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b) (5) and Section 103(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 inspection should change in the future such that the information could then be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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.
