. l. Rickard 3. The information consists of test data and methods for calculating ECCS strainer size and design and fabrication details of ECCS strainers, the application of which provides a competitive economic advantage. The availability of such information to competitors would enab'e them to modify their product to better compete with Combustion Engineering, take marketing of other actions to improve their product's position or impair the position of Combustion Engineering's product, and avoid developing similar data and analyses in support of their processes, methods or apparatus.
- 4. Use of the informa00n by competitors in the intemational marketplace would increase their ability to market nuclear steam supply systems by reducing the costs associated with their technology development in addition, disclosure would have an adverse teconomic impact on Combustion Engineering's potential for obtaining or maintaining foreign licensees.
