ss COUNTY OF BENTON )
Timothy J. Tate, being duly sworn on oath, states as follows:
- 1. I am employed by Framatome Inc. (Framatome) as Manager, Environmental, Health, Safety and Licensing in Richland, Washington. I am responsible for the overall administration of the safety programs at Framatome's Richland, Washington nuclear fuel fabrication facility, including regulatory licensing and permitting. This affidavit is based on my first hand, personal knowledge and is submitted in my capacity as Manager, Environmental, Health ,
Safety and Licensing.
- 2. I am familiar with the contents of the "Triennial Update to Decommissioning Funding Plan (DFP) for the Framatome Inc. Richland Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Facility (License No. SNM-1227; Docket No. 70-1257) as required by 10 CFR 70.25(e). This Triennial Update has been classified and designated as "Proprietary" by Framatome in accordance with the document control system and policies established by Framatome for the control and protection of proprietary and confidential information.
- 3. Framatome is engaged in the business of designing and manufacturing nuclear fuel assemblies for commercial nuclear reactors. Within the United States, there are two additional firms that design and manufacture nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear reactors and there are several other companies outside of the United States that engage in the same business as Framatome.
Competition among these companies including Framatome is fierce and manufacturing costs of the nuclear fuel are critical to the maintenance of market share and to the growth of market share among utility customers.

Sections also contain information that is considered security sensitive in accordance with USNRC RIS 2005-31 . This information contained in the Annual Update is commercial and confidential because it: Framatome Inc. will suffer considerable competitive harm if the contents of the license amendment package are made available to Framatome domestic and international competitors. Finally, this material cannot be reasonably segregated from other material which may not meet the criteria set forth in 10 CFR § 2.390.
