The information discloses descriptions of the design and analysis of the Model No.

CASTOR geo69 system, where prevention of its use by competitors of GNS mbH, without license from GNS mbH, constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.

The information, if used by a competitor, would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve their competitive position in the design, manufacturing, shipment, installation, and assurance of quality or licensing of a similar product.

October 27, 2022

D. Bussmann The information includes certain portions of the safety analysis report related to the design of the Model No. CASTOR geo69 storage system, which are owned and are held in confidence by GNS mbH.

Therefore, the version(s) of the submitted information marked as proprietary and information extracted from such documents 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.

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 of the date of public disclosure in advance which will be a reasonable time thereafter.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact me at Norma.GarciaSantos@nrc.gov.
