UNIVERSITY of MISSOURI RESEARCH REACTOR CENTER October 17, 2017 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Mail Station Pl-37 Washington, DC 20555-0001 REFERENCE: Docket No. 50-186
SUBJECT:
University of Missouri-Columbia Research Reactor Renewed Facility Operating License No. R-103 Supplemental information in support of the request to amend the University Columbia Research Reactor Technical Specifications, which are appended to Renewed Facility Operating License No. R-103, pursuant to 10 CPR § 50.59(c) and 10 CPR § 50.90, as submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission by letter dated May 3, 2017 By letter dated May 3, 2017, the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to the U.S.* Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in order to conduct an experiment that would produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) in large quantities as part of its role in supplying critical medical radioisotopes to the domestic and international community. The experiment would utilize General Atomics' (GA) Selective Gas Extraction (SGE) process, which consists of irradiating target rods containing low-enriched uranium (LEU) pellets in the reactor graphite reflector region in order to produce fission product Mo-99. The Mo-99 would then be extracted from the LEU in dedicated hot cells using the SGE technology. By letter dated June 19, 2017, MURR submitted two (2) attachments of additional technical information to supplement the May 3, 2017, submittal to further assist the NRC in review of the LAR, specifically GA Design Report No. 30441R00038, "Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Target Housing Design Calculation Report," and GA Design Report No. 30441R00041, "Critical Heat Flux Testing at the University of Wisconsin Final Report," Attachments 9 and 10, respectively. Enclosed are two (2) versions of an attachment (Attachment 11 to the LAR) of additional technical information to supplement the May 3, 2017, submittal to further assist the NRC in review of the LAR, specifically GA Design Report No. 30441R00045, "Target Cooling System Flow Test Report. One version of the attachment contains proprietary information, and we request that you withhold it from public disclosure per 10 CFR § 2.390. This document is clearly labeled "Withhold from Public Disclosure Under 10 CPR 2.390." The other attachment is a redacted version that can be disclosed to the public.

Back, Vice President of Nuclear Technologies and Materials, General Atomics, do hereby affirm and state: (1) I have been delegated the function of reviewing information described in paragraph 3 which General Atomics requests be withheld from public disclosure or publication and I am authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of General Atomics. (2) The affidavit is submitted under the provisions of 1 OCFR Part 2.390 to withhold documents containing confidential commercial and proprietary information (as set forth in paragraph 3 following) of General Atomics from public disclosure or publication. I (3) General Atomics (GA) has part_nered with The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) and Nordlon to develop the Reactor-Based Mo-99 Supply System (RB-MSS) Project using its Selective Gas Extraction process. The Information sought to be withheld is related to the analysis, design, development and licensing of General Atomics' technology for deployment at MURR. This Information Is contained in the following documents submitted as supporting information for MURR's "License Amendment Request to Implement Selective Gas Extraction Target Experimental Facility at the University of Missouri Research Reactor." License Amendment Request Attachment No. 11 TITLE GA Report 30441 R00045: Target Cooling System Flow Test Report" Nonproprietary redacted versions of these documents are being simultaneously provided where the proprietary information on each page has been appropriately redacted. (4) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner, General Atomics relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 USC Sec. 552(b)(4) and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC Sec. 1905, and NRC regulations 10CFR Part 9.17(a)(4), a2.390(a)(4), and 10CFR2.390(b) for "trade secrets and commercial or financial Information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential." The material for which exemption from disclosure is hereby sought Is all "confidential commercial information," and/or also qualify under the narrower definition of "trade secret," within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOIA Exemption 4 In, respectively, Critical Mass Energv 3550 OENERALATOMICS COURT.SAN DIEGO, CA 92121-112;! PO BOX 95608, SAN DIEGO, CA 92186-5608 (658) 455-3000 (5) Project v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 975F2d871 (DC Cir. 1992), and Public Citizen Health Research Group v. FDA. 704F2d1280 (DC Cir. 1983). Pursuant to Paragraph (4) above, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld. a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by General Atomics' competitors without license from General Atomics constitutes a competitive economic advantage over oth_er companies; b. Information which, If used by ,a competitor, would reduce his or her expenditure of resources or improve his or her competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance or quality, or licensing of a similar product. c. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which It may be desirable to obtain patent protection. d. The information sought to be withheld is being submitted to the NRG in confidence. The Information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by General Atomics,,and is in fact so held. The information sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held In confidence by General Atomics. No public disclosure has been made, and it is not available In public sources. e. The Information classified as proprietary was developed and compiled by General Atomics at a significant cost to General Atomics. This Information is classified as proprietary because It contains detailed data and analytical results not available elsewhere. This information would provide other parties, Including competitors, with information from General Atomics technical database and the results of evaluations performed by General Atomics. Release of this information would improve a competitor's position without the competitor having to expend similar resources for the development of the database. A significant effort has been expended by General Atomics to develop this Information. f. The research, development, engineering, and analytical costs associated with General Atomics' unique selective gas extraction system and process comprise a substantial investment of time and resources by General Atomics, whose precise value Is difficult to quantify, but clearly is substantial and extends beyond the original development cost. Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to General Atomics' competitive position.
