CAW-81-79 (1) I am Manager, Regulatory and Legislative Affairs, in the Nuclear Technology Division, of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and as such, I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing ,

the proprietary information sought to be. withheld from public dis-closure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing or rule- j making proceedings, and am authorized.to apply for its withholding on behalf of the Westinghouse Water Reactor Divisions.

(2) I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of- l l

10CFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations and in con-l junction with the Westinghouse application for withholding-ac- l companying this Affidavit.

(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems in' designating information j as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.

J (4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 l of the Dmission's regulations, the following is furnished for l consid N tion by the Commission in determining whether the in-formation 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 Westinghouse.

i I

l

~ -

l CAW-81 -79 (ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customari'y disclosed to the public.

Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in j that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and l whether to hold certain types of information in confidence.

The application of that system and the substance of that .

system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the l rational basis required.

l Under that system, information is held in confidence if it.

l falls in one or more of several types, the release of which

'1 might result in the loss of an existing or potential com- )

f petitive advantage, as follows:

l 1

(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of I a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.)

where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's j competitors without license from Westinghouse consti-tutes 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.

CAW-81-79 (c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of. resources or 3mprove his competitive position in the design, manufn ture, shipment,. installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar. product.

1 (d) It reveals cost or price information, production cap-acities, budget levels, or comercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.

(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Wcst- .q inghouse or customer funded development plans and pro- l grams of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.

(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent pro-tection may be desirable.

(g) It is not the property of Westinghouse, but must be treated as proprietary by Westinghouse according to agreements with the owner. l There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following:

(a) The use of such informa'cion by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its com-petitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.

CAW-81-79 (b) It is information which is marketable in many ways.

The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.

(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse 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 infor-mation, any one component may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.

(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition in those countries.

(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

I

CAW-81-79 (iii) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10CFR Section 2.790, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission. .

(iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been pre-viously employed in the same ori.ginal manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.

(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in " Steam Generator Tube Plugging Margin Analysis" for the Virgil C.

Summer Nuclear Power Plant Unit No.1, WCAP-9912, Revi- i sion 2 (Proprietary) being transmitted by South Carolina Electric and Gas Company letter Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure, Nichols to Denton, November 1981. The proprietary information as sub-mitted for South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, Virgil C.

Summer Nuclear Station use is expected to be applicable in other licensee and applicant submittals in response to cer-tain NRC requirements for justification of the steam generator tube plugging margin.

This information is part of that which will enable Westing-house to:

I (a) Provide documentation of the analyses, method and test-ing for determining plugging margin.

-__-- a

CAW-81-79 i

(b) Establish the minimum wall thickness in compliance with !

Regulatory Guide 1.121.

(c) Establish the stress limits "'.rsus thinning of the remaining tube wall.

(d) Establish the maximum allowable leakage in support of the leak-before-break criteria.

(e) Assist the customer to obtain NRC approval.

Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:

(a) Westinghouse plans to sell similar information to its customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for licensing documentation.

(b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of the tech-nology to its customers in the licensing process.

i Ptslic disclosure of this information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to pro-vide similar analytical documentation 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 require-ments for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.

i 1977, concerning Westinghouse Steam Generator Programs.

The letter and attachment are being submitted in response to the request of the Commission and its October 25, 1977 memorandum, Stuart to Eisenhut concerning Westinghouse Steam Generator Programs.

Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse as it would reveal the strategic plans of Westinghouse regarding the nature .and direction of its development programs. .

l .

Information regarding its development programs is valuable to Westinghouse because:

l (a)

Information resulting from its development programs g'ives

(

Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors.

It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.

-i (b) It is information which is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to compet-itors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.

(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a com-petitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.

(d) Each component of proprietary infomation 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 I depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.

(e) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate, assets in ,

I research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

Altogether, a substantial amount of money and effort has been and is being expended by Westinghouse in its development programs which could only be duplicated by a competitor if he were to invest similar sums of j

money and provided he had the appropriate talent available.

2.1.1 - RAD 7AL PRELOAD TEST CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION The test program was designed to simulate the interface of a tube-to-tubesheet full depth hardroll for a model 51 steam generator. The test configuration consisted of six cylindrical collars, approximately [ ]"'C inches in length, [ l a.c.e inches in outside diameter, and [ 3a ,c.e inch in I inside diameter. The RE process was designed to provide the same preload independent of hole diameters of up to approximately 0.935 in. The preload was determined by tube thinning which, in turn, was determined by roll expander motor stalling torque. A single nominal stalling torque value was used for all tube-to-tubesheet joints. A mill annealed, Inconel 600 (ASME SB-163), tubing specimen, approximately [ ]"'C inches long with a nominal outside diameter of [ Ja .c.e inch before rolling, was hard rolled into each collar using a process which simulated actual tube installation conditions.

The design of the collars was based on the results of performing finite element analfsis of a section of the steam generator tubesheet to determine radial stiffness and flexibility. The inside diameter of the collar was chosen to tuatch the size of holes drilled in the tubesheet. The outside diameter was selected to provide the same radial stiffness as the tubesheet..

The collars were fabricated from AISI 1018 carbon steel similar in mechanical properties to the actual tubesheet material. The collar assembly was clamped in a vise during the rolling process and for the post roll measurements of the tube ID. Following the taking of all post roll measurements, the collars were saw cut to within a small distance from the tube wall. The collars were then split for removal from the tube and tube ID and OD measurements were repeated.

Two end boundary conditions were imposed on the tube specimen during rolling.

The end was restrained from axial motion in order to perform a tack roll at j the bottom end, and was allowed to expand freely during the final roll..

4 2.1.2 PRELOAD TEST RESULTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS All measurements taken during the test program are tabulated in Table 1. The data recorded was employed to determine the interfacial conditions of the 4306M:49/042487 9 ,

l I

pressures. The difference between an analysis assuming plane stress and one assuming plane strain is manifested only in a ci.ange in the constant C2 ' , i for materials having a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, the following relation holds:

C2 (Plane Strain) = 0.862

  • C 2(Plane Stress) (2) ..

I 1 The effect on the calculated residual pressure is that plane strain results ,

are higher than plane stress results by slightly less than 10 percent.

Comparing this effect with the results reported in reference 2 indicated that ,

better agreement with test values is achieved. It is to be noted that the -

residual radial pressure at the tube to tubesheet interface 15.the compressive f radial stress at the OD of the tube, By substituting the expressions for the constants into equation (1) the deflection at any radial location within the tube wall as a function of the f internal and external pressure (radial stress at the ID and 00) is found. This [I expression was differentiated to obtain flexibility values for the tube '

3 deflection at the ID and 00 respectively, e.g., dui/dPo is the ratio of the radial deflection at the ID due to an OD pressure. Thus, dui/dPo was used to find the interface pressure and radial stress between the tube and the ,!

tubesheet as:

  • c:

S --P = - (ID Radial Springback). / (dU1/dPo) p (3) ro o - ,,.

g The calculated radial residual stress for each specimen at:each i location is tabulated in Table 2. The mean residual tube 00 radial stress Ind the standard deviation was found to be [ 3"'C psi and [ 3a c.e as respectively.

In order to determine a value to be used in the analysis, a rilerance' factor for [ Ja .c.e percent confidence to contain I J a 'C percent of the population was calculated, considering the [ -]"'C useable data points, to be [ l a.c.e Thus, a [

, 7.16*10~0 in/in/*F. Thus, there is a net difference of 0.63*10-6 in/in/*F in the expansion property of the tv) materials. Considering l

a temperature difference of approximate?y 483*F between ambient and '

cold leg op'erating conditions the increase in preload between the tube (t) and the tubesheet (ts) was calculated as- I i

Sri = (0.63E-6)*(483)*RCollar ID) / 2 )/ ((dui/dP1)ts- (duo /dPo)t}

/

This calculation was also performed and tabulated in Table 2. The results indicaH that the increase in preload radial stress due to l

thermal expansion'is ( )#'E'" psi. It is to be noted that this value applies for both normal operating and fa.ulted conditions. l

2. Internal Pressure Tightening - The maximum normal operating j differential pressure from the primary to secondary side of the steam g generator is ( Ja .c.e psi during a loss of Iced transient. The l internal pressure acting on the wall of the tube will result in an
increase c>f the radia' preload on the crhr of the pressure value. 1 The increase was found as
l l

q (duo /dPi) /( (dVi/dPi)g - (duo /dPo) ) l SrP -Po = - P3 (5)

[ In actuality, the increase in preload will be more dependent on the internal pressure :f ~the tube since water at secondary side pressure woula not be evpected between the tube and the tubesheet. This differential pressure, along with the associated temperature and tubesheet bowing effects, was the mcst stringent normal condition in ter.Ts of determining the f* itngth. Increased differential pressure not only increases radial preload directly, it also increases tubesheet bending which reduces preload.
