SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR WITHHOLDING INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBMITTAL OF SUPPLEMENTS TO TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING, UNIT NOS. 3 AND 4 SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (EPID NO. L-2018-RNW-0002)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

By letters dated January 30, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML18037A812), February 9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18044A653), February 16, 2018 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML18053A123), and March 1, 2018 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML18072A224, respectively), to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted and supplemented an application for subsequent license renewal (SLR) of Renewed Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating, Unit Nos. 3 and 4.

Subsquently, FPL submitted three interrelated supplements:

  • Safety Review Requests for Additional Information (RAI) Set 4 Responses by letter dated October 24, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18299A214);
  • Safety Review Requests for Additional Information (RAI) Set 6 Responses, by letter dated November 2, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18311A307); and
  • NUREG/CR/-6909 Revision 1 Methodology Update SLRA Revisions, by letter dated November 19, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18330A060).

A total of eight affidavits requesting withholding of proprietary information were submitted among these three letters. Affidavits in one submittal would, at times, refer to information in another submittal; therefore, the proprietary withholding reviews were done simultaneously.

The results of that review are being communicated by letter on an affidavit-by-affidavit basis.

An affidavit on behalf of Framatome was executed on October 12, 2018, by Gayle Elliott, Deputy Director, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, and included in the October 24, 2018, submittal. (A copy of this affidavit was also submitted in the November 19, 2018, letter.) The affidavit requested that the information contained in the related documents be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2, Section 2.390.

M. Nazar The affidavit from Framatome stated that the submitted information is proprietary and should be considered exempt from mandatory public disclosure. Listed below are some of the reasons in the affidavit:

  • The information reveals certain distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or component, the exclusive use of which provides a competitive advantage for Framatome in product optimization or marketability.
  • The information is vital to a competitive advantage held by Framatome, would be helpful to competitors to Framatome, and would likely cause substantatial harm to the competitive position of Framatome.

We have reviewed your application and the material in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 9.17 and 10 CFR 2.390 and, on the basis of the statements in the affidavit, have determined that the submitted information sought to be withheld contains trade secrets or confidential or privileged commercial or financial information and should be withheld from public disclosure.

Therefore, the version of the submitted information marked as proprietary will be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 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, we may send copies of this information to our consultants working in this area. We will, of course, ensure that the consultants have signed the appropriate agreements for handling proprietary information.

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. You also should understand that the NRC 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.

The documents stated in the enclosure to this letter will be withheld from public disclosure.

The nonproprietary copy of your documents and the letter have been placed in the NRC's Public Document Room and added to the NRC Library as described in the enclosure.

M. Nazar If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1056, or by email at Lauren.Gibson@nrc.gov Sincerely,

/RA/
