SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO FORMAL DISAGREEMENT AND APPEAL WITH ADVERSARY
CHARACTERISTICS, ATTRIBUTES, OR TACTICS EMPLOYED OR
PREPARED AS PART OF AN NRC-EVALUATED FORCE-ON-FORCE
EXERCISE - DISPUTED ITEM 05000483/2017201-01
Dear Mr. Herrmann:
This letter provides the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) staffs formal response to
your disagreement with a tactic, technique or procedure (TTP), and subsequent appeal of the
staffs decision, consistent with NRC Inspection Procedure 71130.03 Contingency Response -
Force-on-Force Testing. By letter, dated May 9, 2017, titled Formal Disagreement with
Adversary Characteristics, Attributes, or Tactics Employed or Prepared as Part of an
NRC-Evaluated Force-on-Force Exercise, you disputed a TTP within Scenario 1 developed by
the NRC Force-on-Force inspection team.
The NRC carefully reviewed your dispute, and concluded that the disputed TTP is approved for
use within the NRC-evaluated scenario for the following reasons: (1) it is within the design
basis threat, (2) it is supported by available data, (3) it is within your ability to provide
defense-in-depth, (4) it can be safely performed and controlled, and (5) it provides a credible
and realistic challenge to your sites protective strategy. The NRCs detailed response to your
appeal has been entered into the NRC Response to Disputed Item Database, Disputed Item 05000483/2017201-01, and is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter, marked Safeguards
Information.
The enclosure transmitted herewith contains Safeguards Information. When separated
from the enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.

Upon notification by Robert Johnson, Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch,
Division of Security Operations of the NRCs decision that the disputed TTP was approved for
use, you requested to appeal the decision to me. I received your appeal via phone call on
May 9, 2017. After further discussion the NRC carefully reevaluated your dispute and
determined that the disputed item is still appropriate for use in an NRC-evaluated Force-on-
Force exercise.
Sincerely,
/RA/
