SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PROPRIETARY DETERMINATION LETTER FOR

SUMMARY

OF WESTINGHOUSE TESTING TO EVALUATE THE KINEMATIC SHOCK IN A HORIZONTAL PIPE (EPID: L-2018-TOP-0043)

Dear Ms. Zozula:

By letter dated January 4, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19010A046), Westinghouse Electric Company submitted the subject information to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to support the review of WCAP-15060, Pump Suction Gas Accumulation Operability Criteria Guidance. Also submitted with the January 4, 2019, letter was a January 4, 2019, letter and affidavit executed by Korey L. Hosack, Manager, Production Line Regulatory Support, requesting that the information in the subject submittal be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2.390 (10 CFR 2.390).

A nonproprietary copy of the document has been placed in the NRC Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library in ADAMS Package No. ML19010A047.

Westinghouse detailed the reasons for withholding in its affidavit.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.390. Based on the statements in the affidavit, the NRC staff has determined that the submitted information contains proprietary, commercial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure under 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, the agency may send copies of this information to its consultants working in this area. The NRC staff will of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

C. Zozula 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 NRC staff.

You also should understand that the NRC staff 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.

If you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to contact me at 301-415-7297 or by via electronic mail at Joseph.Holonich@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
