Dear Mr. Utley:

, Indications"'and requested that Table 1 and Figure 3, 4 and 5 be withheld from

-public disclosure' pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790.

~

The affidavit stated.that the submitted information should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure for the following reasons: ,

"Public disclosure of the information sought to be withneid is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of-the Genera 1' Electric Company and deprive or reduce the t.vailability of profit making opportunities because over 200 manhours in document

research and~$1 million~1n' test facilities were required to obtain the information:

a.. Public ava11ab11ity of this information would deprive General

.t.lectric'of the ability to seek reimbursement and would permit x- competitors'to' utilize this information to General Electric's .

.t- detriment,- to:the substantial financial and competitive

. disadvantage of General Electric."

We have reviewed your application ~ and the material based on the requirerrents and. criteria of 10 CFR 2.790 and, on the basis of the vendor's statements, have determined that the submitted-information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or proprietary commercial information.

Therefore, the version of the GE report " Evaluation of the Brunswick 2.

Recirculation Outlet Nozzles Al and B1 Axial Indications",' Attachment 1 to your letter dated July 15, 1986, marked as proprietary, will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(b)(5) and Section 1.03(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

,i 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 then could be made available for public inspection, you should promptly notify the NRC. You should also understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, such as, 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.
