Enclosure 2 to E-63028 AFFIDAVIT PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 2.390 TN Americas LLC )

State of Maryland ) SS.

County of Howard )

I, Prakash Narayanan, depose and say that I am Chief Technical Officer of TN Americas LLC, duly authorized to execute this affidavit, and have reviewed or caused to have reviewed the information which is identified as proprietary and referenced in the paragraph immediately below. I am submitting this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390 of the Commissions regulations for withholding this information.

The information for which proprietary treatment is sought meets the provisions of paragraph (a) (4) of Section 2.390 of the Commissions regulations. The information for which proprietary treatment is sought is contained in Enclosure 1 and is listed below:

• TN Americas LLC Updated Licensing Plans I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by TN Americas LLC in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information.

Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) (4) of Section 2.390 of the Commissions regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure, included in the above referenced documents, should be withheld.

1) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is a list of identified future licensing action plans, which involve considerable research and development of intellectual property by TN Americas LLC.

2) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by TN Americas LLC and not customarily disclosed to the public. TN Americas LLC has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it.

3) Public disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of TN Americas LLC because the information consists of near term and long-term licensing plan which involves research and development activities for dry spent fuel storage and transportation systems, the application of which provide a competitive economic advantage. The availability of such information to competitors would enable them to modify their product to better compete with TN Americas LLC, take marketing or other actions to improve their products position or impair the position of TN Americas LLCs product, and avoid developing similar data and analyses in support of their processes, methods, or apparatus.

I declare that the statements set forth in this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
