Wheeler, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for TRISO-X, LLC, (TRISO-X) that to the best of my knowledge and beliefs, make the following representation contained herein:
A. The following documents which TRISO-X requests to have withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 are: - Sensitive Addendum - Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan - Site Emergency Plan - Decommissioning Funding Plan B. The information contained in the document(s) cited in A above has been held in confidence by TRISO-X, in that it contains financial information as defined in 10 CFR 2.390(a) that is not customarily disclosed to the public.
C. The information contained in the document(s) cited in A above has been held in confidence by TRISO-X, in that it contains trade secrets or commercial information as defined in 10 CFR 2.390(a) that is not customarily disclosed to the public.
D. The public disclosure of the information contained in the document(s) cited in A above would likely cause substantial economic harm to the competitive advantage held by TRISO-X because it contains distinguishing aspects of a process, methodology, or components which provide a competitive advantage in product optimization or marketability.
E. Unrestricted disclosure of the information contained in the document(s) cited in A above would jeopardize the position of TRISO-X in the market and, thereby give a market advantage to any competitors who would benefit from access to substantial TRISO-X sensitive information related to the company's nuclear fuel manufacturing methods.
F. The public disclosure of the information contained in the document(s) cited in A above is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of TRISO-X because it would enhance the ability of competitors to address similar safety, regulatory and licensing issues without commensurate expenses.
G. The information that TRISO-X requests to be withheld from public disclosure is contained in the entire document(s) as so marked. Non-proprietary versions of the documents would essentially be blank pages and are therefore not provided.

financial be withheld from the public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b) and Section 103(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
The averments of fact set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief:
