1.0 INTRODUCTION
The LEFM ./ and LEFM ./+ 1 are advanced ultrasonic systems that accurately measure the volume flow and temperature of feedwater in nuclear power plants. Using a feedwater pressure signal input to the LEFM ./ and LEFM ./+ mass flow is determined. The mass flow and temperature outputs are used, along with other plant data, to compute reactor core thennal power. The technology underlying the LEFM ./ ultrasonic instruments and the factors affecting their perfonnance are described in a topical report, Reference 1, and a supplement to this topical report, Reference 2. The LEFM ./+, which contains two LEFM ./'s, is described in another supplement to the topical report, Reference 3. The exact amount of the uprate allowable under a revision to 1OCFRSO Appendix K depends not only on the accuracy of the LEFM ./ + outputs but a]so on the uncertainties in other inputs to the thennal power calculation.
It is the purpose of this docmnent to provide an analysis of the uncertainty contribution of the Trade LEFM ./+ System [ * * ] to Secret &

3.0 APPROACH All errors and biases are calculated and combined according to the procedures defined in Reference 4 and Reference 5 in order to detennine the 95% confidence and probability value. The approach to determine the uncertainty, consistent with detennining set points, is to combine the random and bias terms by the means of the RSS approach provided that all the tenns are independent, zero-centered and normally distributed.
Reference 4 defines the contributions of individual en-or elements through the use of sensitivity coefficients defined as follows:
A calculated variable Pis determined by algorithm f, from measured vaiiables X, Y, and Z.
P = f(X, Y, Z)
The etTor, or uncertainty in P, dP, is given by:
dP =q I dX + q I dY + q I dZ ox rz OY xz oz x>*
As noted above, P is the detennined variable--in this case, reactor power or mass flow-- which is calculated via measured variables X, Y, and Z using an algorithm f (X, Y, Z). The uncertainty or error in P, dP, is detennined on a per unit basis as follows:
dP p =
{x qi p a\:' yz
}dX x
{y qi y + {z ozqi }dZz
+ p OY ,\7
}dY p XY where the tenns in brackets are referred to as the sensitivity coefficients.
If the errors or biases in individual elements (dXIX, dY!Y, and dZIZ in the above equation) are all caused by a common (systematic) boundar*y condition (for example ambient temperature) the total error dP/ P is found by summing the three tenns in the above equation. If, as is ni.ore often the case, the errors in X, Y, and Z are independent of each other, then Reference 4 and 5 recommends and probability theory requires that the total uncertainty be detennined by the root sum square as follows (for 95% confidence and probability):
Obviously, if some errors in individual elements are caused by a combination of boundary conditions, some independent and some related (i.e. , systematic) then a combination of the two procedures is appropriate.

3.0 APPROACH All errors and biases are calculated and combined according to the procedures defined in Reference 4 and Reference 5 in order to detennine the 95% confidence and probability value. The approach to detennine the uncertainty, consistent with detennining set points, is to combine the random and bias tenns by the means of the RSS approach provided that all the terms are independent, zero-centered and nonnally distributed.
Reference 4 defines the conh-ibutions of individual eirnr elements through the use of sensitivity coefficients defined as follows:
A calculated variable P is determined by algoritlun f, from measured variables X, Y, and Z.

As noted above, P is the detennined variable--in this case, reactor power or mass flow-- which is calculated via measured variables X, Y, and Z using an algoritlun f (X, Y, Z). The uncertainty or error in P, dP, is detennined on a per unit basis as follows:

- 3. I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Cameron in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
- 4. Cameron requests that the information identified in paragraph S(v) below be withheld from the public on the following bases:
Trade secrets and commercial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential The material and information provided herewith is so designated by Cameron, in accordance with those criteria and procedures, for the reasons set forth below.
- 5. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) (4) of Section 2.390 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 Cameron.
(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Cameron and not customarily disclosed to the public. Cameron has a rational basis for determining the 2
March 13, 2017 CAW17-04 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 Cameron policy and provides the rational basis required. Furthermore, the information is submitted voluntarily and need not rely on the evaluation of any rational basis.
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 advantage, as follows:
(a) The information reveals the disting1,1ishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Cameron's competitors without license from Cameron 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, and assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Cameron, its customer or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present or future Cameron or customer funded development plans and programs of potential customer value to Cameron.
(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
3
March 13, 2017 CAW 17-04 The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), above.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Cameron system, which include the following:
(a) The use of such information by Cameron gives Cameron a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Cameron competitive position.
(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available tq competitors diminishes the Cameron ability to sell products or services involving the use of the information.
(c) Use by our competitor would put Cameron 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 Cameron of a competitive advantage.
(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Cameron in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries.
(f) The Cameron 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 10 CFR §§ 2. 390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
4
March 13, 2017 CAW 17-04 (iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld is the submittal titled:
Cameron Engineering Report ER- 464 Rev. 5 "Uncertainty Analysis for Thermal Power Determination at Peach Bottom Unit 2 Using the LEFM v +System" Table of Contents page ii contains partial proprietary information Pages 1, 2, 4, 5 contain partial proprietary information Appendix A Table of Contents contains partial proprietary information Appendices A.1, A.2, A.4, A.5, and B are proprietary in their entirety It is designated therein in accordance with 10 CFR §§ 2.390(b)(l)(i)(A,B), with the reason(s) for confidential treatment noted in the submittal and further described in this affidavit. This information is voluntarily submitted for use by the NRC Staff in their review of the accuracy assessment of the proposed methodology for the LEFM CheckPlus System used by Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station for flow measurement at the licensed reactor thermal power level of 4016 MWt.
Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Cameron because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar flow and temperature measurement systems 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 the right to use the information.
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 Cameron effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.
In order for competitors of Cameron to duplicate this information, similar products would have to be developed, 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 developing analytical methods and receiving NRC approval for those methods.
