SUBJECT:

WITHP01. DING FROM 9UBLIC DISCI.0SURE - AW-86-049 - AMENDMENT 1 TO WAPWR RESAR SP-90 M00VlE 1, " PRIMARY SIDE SAFEGUARDS SYSTEM" By your application, dated June 9,1986 and affidavit, dated November 1,1982 you submitted Amendment I to WAPWR RESAR SP-90 PDA Module 1, " Primary Side Safeguards System" and requested that it be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

You stated that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons:

The information is appropriately marked " Westinghouse Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (WAPWR) Licensing Control Document." This document identifies specific design features and improvements which the WAPWR will have in order to meet current regulatory requirements.

In addition, it establishes the WAPWR position with respect to each requirement. Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse as it would reveal the description of the improved design features of the WAPWR; Westinghouse plans for future design, testing and' -

analysis aimed at design verification; and demonstration of the design's capability to meet evolving NRC/ACRS safety goals. The information is of competitive value because of the large amount of effort and money expended by Westinghouse over a period of several years in carrying out this particular development program. Further, it would enable competitors to use the information for commercial purposes and to meet NRC requirements for.

licensing documentation, without purchasing the right from Westinghouse to use the information.
