In order to conform to the requirements of 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations concerning the protettion of proprietary information so submitted to the NRC, the information which is proprietary in the proprietary versions is contained within brackets, and where the proprietary information has been deleted in the non-proprietary versions, only the brackets remain (the information that was contained within the brackets in the proprietary versions having been deleted).
The justification for claiming the information so designated as proprietary is indicated in both versions *by means of lower case letters (a) through (f) contained within parentheses located as a superscript immediately following the brackets*
enclosing each item of information being identified as proprietary or in the margin opposite such information.
These lower case letters refer to the types of information Westinghouse customarily holds in confidence identified in Sections (4)(ii)(a}

- --CAW-93-428 (1) I am Manager, Advanced Plant Safety and Licensing, in the Nuclear and Advanced Technology Divisions, of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and as such, I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rulemaking proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of the Westinghouse Energy Systems Business Unit. (2) I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of lOCFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse application for withholding accompanying this Affidavit.
(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by the Westinghouse Energy Systems Business Unit in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations,*
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. (ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system 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 Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required.
omc-AMs-2:osom Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
omc-AMS-3:050593
- --CAW-93-428 (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 programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse. (t) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following: (a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors.
It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position. (b) It is information which is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.
I
- --CAW-93-428 (c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense. (d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage.
If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage. (e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries. (t) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage. (iii) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of lOCFR Section 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission. (iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief. (v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in "Technical Justification for Eliminating Large Primary Loop Pipe Rupture as the Structural Design Basis for the Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2", WCAP-13659 (Proprietary), May, 1993 for Salem Units 1 and 2, being transmitted by the Public Service Electric and Gas Company letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure, Mr. S. LaBruna, PSE&G to Document Control Desk, Attention Dr. Thomas Murley. The proprietary information as submitted for use by Public Service Electric and Gas Company for the Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 is expected to be applicable in other licensee 0777C-AM5-4:050593
On7C-AMS-S:OSOS93
- --CAW-93-428 submittals in response to certain NRC requirements for justification of the use of Leak-Before-Break (LBB) technology for elimination of large primary loop pipe ruptures as the structural design basis. This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to: (a) Provide documentation which summarizes the application of the LBB technology. (b) Provide documentation which describes the LBB Qualification Program. (c) Provide documentation which describes how the LBB technology complies with applicable regulatory criteria. (d) Assist the customer to obtain NRC approval for use of their LBB technology.
Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows: (a) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for purposes of satisfying NRC requirements for licensing documentation. (b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of this licensing basis and technology to its customers to support the licensing process. 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 similar information, simplify design and evaluation tasks without requiring a commensurate investment of time and effort 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.
omc-AMS-6:osos93
- CAW-93-428 The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended for the licensing of Leak-Before-Break (LBB) technology.
Further the deponent sayeth not.
