The Night A Mysterious Drone Swarm Descended On Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant The mysterious case of mass drone incursions over America's most powerful nuclear power plant that only resulted in more questions and no changes.

BY TYLER ROGOWAVAN D JOSEPH TREVITHICKJU LY 29, 2020 THE WAR ZONE While the news has been filled with claims that strange unidentified craft with unexplainable capabilities are appearing over highly sensitive U.S. inst allations and assets as of late, a much less glamorous, more numerous, and arguably far more pressing threat has continued to metastasize in alarming ways-that posed by lower-end and even off-the-shelf drones. Less than a year ago and just days after the stunning drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's most critical energy production infrastructure deep in the heart of that highly defended country, a bizarre and largely undisclosed incident involving a swarm of drones occurred on successive September evenings in 2019. The location? America's most powerful nuclear plant, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generation Station situated roughly two dozen miles west to Phoenix, near Tonopah, Arizona.

In a trove of documents and internal correspondences related to the event, officials from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) described the incident as a "drone-a-palooza" and said that it highlighted concerns about the potential for a future "adversarial attack" involving small unmanned aircraft and the need for defenses against them. Even so, the helplessness and even cavalier attitude

toward the drone incident as it was unfolding by those that are tasked with securing one of America's largest and most sensitive nuclear facilities serves as an alarming and glaring example of how neglected and misunderstood this issue is.

What you are about to read is an unprecedented look inside a type of event that is less isolated in nature than many would care to believe.

A Rapidly Accelerating Threat Troubling incidents of protracted activity by swarms of drones, including a series of very strange incidents in Colorado and neighboring states last year that the mainstream media was quick to blow off without any real evidence to prompt such a dismissal, are occurring over and near some of America's most critical infrastructure. These events are occurring as lower-end and lower-performance unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have become weaponized to increasingly remarkable degree in recent years. Even those built-in sheds in the middle of warzones have been employed with not only deadly, but also a highly disruptive effects ....~ we mentioned a moment ago, drones have even inflicted major damage to one of the world's richest and most heavily defended country's cash cow-oil production. They have also been used in an attempt to assassinate a country's ruler. And yes, the potential for them to be used for similar purposes exists right here in the United States, as well.

Even as lower-end drones that are armed with explosives and capable of precision attacks are being mass-produced overseas and America's adversaries are openly perfecting far more complex swarm capabilities, the U.S. military and federal agencies are desperately trying to play catch-up to the threat even though they had years to proactively work to nullifying it before its inevitable manifestation. It wasn't before weaponized drones were careening into and dropping bomblets on Iraq soldiers' heads during the Battle of Mosul that the U.S. military had no choice but to begin to take the issue seriously. Today, American soldiers deal with the ominous presence of drones overhead and even dropping munitions daily in overseas hotspots. America's top military commander in the Middle East is all too aware of this compounding threat and the lack of resources being placed on countering it:

"I argue all the time with my Air Force friends that the future offlight is vertical and it's unmanned," U.S. Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said at an event hosted by the Middle East Institute last week. "I'm not talking about large unmanned

platforms, which are the size of a conventional fighter jet that we can see and deal with, as we would any other platform."

"I'm talking about the one you can go out and buy at Costco right now in the United States for a thousand dollars,four quad, rotorcraft, or something like that that can be launched and flown," he continued. And with very simple modifications, it can make made into something that can drop a weapon like a hand grenade or something else."

"Right now, the fact of the matter is we're on the wrong side of that equation."

With all this in mind, it isn't a matter of if similar events will occur in the homeland, it's a matter of when and of what scope. As it sits now, all the warning signs are there, especially in terms of where mysterious swarms of drones are popping up without explanation.

Two Nights In Late September Douglas D. .Johnson, a volunteer researcher affiliated with the Scienhfi.c Coaliti,onfor UAP Studies (SCU), was able to obtain a large number of internal documents regarding the September drone incidents at Palo Verde from the NRC via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and kindly shared them with The War Zone. It is important to note that these documents primarily reflect the NRC's perspective rather than that of any other U.S. government agencies at the federal, state, or local levels. The Arizona Public Service Company, which operates the Palo Verde Generating Station, is also a private entity not directly subject to the FOIA.

Johnson did also submit a FOIA request for relevant documents to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). DHS said it found 32 pages of documents related to the incident from CISA, but declined to release them, citing exemptions related to law enforcement activities. Another 17 pages of relevant records are still undergoing a review by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

This particular story starts on Sept. 29, 2019. Shortly before 11:00 PM local time at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Daphne Rodriguez, an Acting Security Section Chief at the plant, called the duty officer at NRC's Headquarters

Operations Center (HOC). Rodriguez reported that a number of drones were flying over and around a restricted area near the nuclear power plant's Unit 3, which houses one of its three pressurized water reactors.

Thomas Kendzia, a Headquarters Emergency Response Officer (HERO) at the HOC, subsequently created an incident report in the NRC's Security Information Database (SID). The HOC's policy is to have one Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) and a Headquarters Emergency Response Officer (HERO) on duty, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day, every day, with no exceptions. "The designated HOO for the shift has the primary responsibility for receiving reports and determining appropriate actions. The HERO counterpart role provides procedural, communications, and administrative support," according to a 2018 NRC Office of the Inspector General's reporL on headquarters staffing issues.

The key pmtions of the SID entry that Kendzia created, which was then updated as time went on, are as follows:

"Officer noticed several drones (5 or 6) flying over the site. The drones are circling the 3 unit site inside and outside the Protected Area. The drones have fl.ashing red and white rights and are estimated to be 200 to 300 hundred feet above the site. It was reported the drones had spotlights on while approaching the site that they turned off when they entered the Security Owner Controlled Area. Drones were first noticed at 2050 MST and are still over the site as of2147 MST. Security Posture was normal, which was changed to elevated when the d1*ones were noticed. The Licensee notified one of the NRC resident inspectors.

As of 0237 EST, no drones have been observed at the site since 2230 MST. Officers believe drones were over 2feet in diameter.

Personnel at the HOC also then called the duty officer at the NRC's Intelligence Liaison and Threat Assessment Branch (ILTAB), a division of the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. ILTAB's mission is to "provide strategic and tactical intelligence warning and analysis of .all threats to the US commercial nuclear sector, and serve as NRC's liaison and coordination staff to the US intelligence and law enforcement communities," according to a 2010 lniefing.

That wasn't the end of it, though, for Palo Verde. The very next night, Ismael Garcia, a Security Supervisor at the plant called ILTAB to report another drone incursion over sensitive areas.

This new information was originally added as an update to the previous incident, but the HERO on duty, Donald Norwood, eventually set up a new, separate SID entry, which again received additional updates as the situation progressed, with the key details being as follows:

Four (4) drones were observedflying beginning at 2051 MST [on Sept.

30, 2019] and continuing through the time of this report (2113 MST). As occurred last night, the drones are flying in, through, and around the owner controlled area, the security owner controlled area, and the protected area. Also, as last night, the drones are described as large with red and white flashing lights. Spotlights have not been noted tonight.

The licensee has not changed their security posture. The licensee continues to monitor the drones.

As of 0355 EDT, no drones have been observed at the site since before 0020 MST. LLEA [local law enforcement agency] surveyed the area and were unable to locate drones on the ground or anyone controlling the drones.

The licensee notified FAA (both Phoenix and Albuquerque), FBI, DHS, and the Maricopa [County, Arizona] Sheriffs Office. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

Palo Verde security officials had filed their own report on this second incident, which eventually made its way to NRC. It included the following narrative:

"On 9/30/19 at approximately 2051 hours0.0237 days <br />0.57 hours <br />0.00339 weeks <br />7.804055e-4 months <br />, it was reported by a Security Team Leader that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UA Vs) were approaching the plant from the east (true east). The hours of darkness made it difficult to estimate the altitude at which the UA Vs were flying. Two Security Team Leaders [redacted]. The UA Vs appeared to have been launching from behind the mountain range at the intersection of Southern Ave and 361 Ave just east of the plant. Four UA Vs were confirmed to have been spotted at one time flying northwest over Unit 1 and returning northeast over Unit 3. LLEA (MCSO) [Maricopa County Sheriffs Office] deputies were dispatched to the area of the mountain range with a Security Unit Team Leader in an attempt to determine the

location of the UA V operators, but were unsuccessful. No other UA Vs were observed after approximately 2300 hours0.0266 days <br />0.639 hours <br />0.0038 weeks <br />8.7515e-4 months <br />."

"These UAVs are believed to have been the same UAVs thatfiew over the plant the night before on 9/29/19 at approximately 2020 hours0.0234 days <br />0.561 hours <br />0.00334 weeks <br />7.6861e-4 months <br /> (refer to CR# 14095for details)."

All required notifications were made IA W [in accordance with] 20DP-0SK49 Security Integrated Response Plan and additional Security contingency measure [sic] were implemented IA W 21SP-0SK11 Security Contingencies. No additional compensatory measures are required IA W 20SP-0SK08 Compensatory Measures for Loss ofSecurity Equipment/Effectiveness."

A Feutile Distraction?

Curiously, one of ILTAB's top priorities seemed to be getting the staff at Palo Verde, or anyone from any other NRC-licensed facility, to stop calling them in the middle of the night about reported drones. Our folks got calls last night at 2am, which is correct per the procedure," Laura Pearson, ILTAB's chief, wrote an Email on Sept. 30 to Silas Kennedy, the Chief of the Operations Branch within the Division of Preparedness and Response of NRC's Office of Nuclear Security.

"However, I am wondering if there is a way to cut down on calls in the middle of the night for issues that ILTAB can't add value to," Pearson continued. "The call last night about drones is a good example-in the middle of the night, ILTAB can't really do anything about it anyway apart from say 'ok thanks' and handle it in the morning."

Pearson raised concerns that the late-night calls "interrupts sleep" and that her staff would then arrive at work "either groggy or come in late, so there's negative returns on it from an, organizational perspective." Kennedy told her that ILTAB could, on its own accord, change its requirements for when personnel at nuclear sites would need to immediately contact the duty officer to report an incident.

Before the second drone incursion had even occurred on Sept. 30, ILTAB was already working on revising its instructions from when the HOC staff should contact them. Pearson also asked Kennedy if there was a way to halt all calls about drones in and around Palo Verde, specifically. "There is nothing ILTAB

can do about it at night, and if my staff has to be woken up about it each night, it will start to cause other problems for us. We have a small staff and having people out or late because they are not getting adequate sleep will impact our ability to get work done," she wrote in another Email on Oct. 1.

"Please place a note in the turnover log stating 'Until further notice, do not call the ILTAB duty officer from 10 pm until 6 am for drone flyovers of Palo Verde.

Send an email to ILTAB in the morning. This is specific to Palo Verde only. For all other licensed facilities, continue to follow HOO procedures until changes are made,"' Kennedy subsequently instructed other staff at the HOC.

At that time, per a subsequent Email, the list of instances in where HOOs or HEROs were supposed to immediately notify ILTAB included, but were not necessarily limited to the following:

• Ongoing security events. (basis for the drone calls since they were loitering in the OCA [owner control led areal)

• Verba l/telephone/e-mai l threats.

• Bomb threats.

• Th reats to site employees.

• Fence jumpers/intrusions.

• Security barrier penetrations.

• Discovery of weapons or explosives.

• Event involving law enforcement response/investigation on the owner-controlled area (OCA} or watercraft exclusion areas.

• Event involving FBI investigation.

• Security-related med ia attention at any level.

• Sabotage/Tampering.

Other NRC officials appear to have been unsure as to how they could necessarily help in responding to the incidents, in general. "[Palo Verde] Site security was unable to observe any identii},ing markings on the UAVs themselves or locate the operator(s), so I do not know how much additional investigation can be undertaken," an Intelligence Specialist at the Response Coordination Branch for NRC's Region IV, whose name is redacted, wrote in a separate Email.

Inconclusive Investigation The situation on the ground at Palo Verde was completely different. By Oct. 21

officials at the plant were working together resident NRC personnel, as well as local law enforcement, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),

and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A subsequent Email shows that the FBI's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Coordinator was specifically contacted in relation to the drones.

They were also in the process of deploying unspecified drone detection systems acquired from a company identified in one Emai] as "Area Armor." This is very likely an error in referring to Aerial Armor, which describes itse]f as having "been at the forefront of the drone defense industry since 2015 as a service provider and systems integrator for C-UAS solutions." The company's website .i:U.£Q sm:s "On countless deployments, we've worked hand in hand with local law enforcement, FAA, FBI, OHS and private security professionals throughout the US."

"This technology apparently h as a 13-mile radius and can determine the specific point from which the UAVs were launched so that LLEA / site security can locate the operator(s)," a Region IV Response Coordination Branch Intelligence Specialist, with their name redacted, possibly the same individual referenced earlier, wrote in an Email. "I confirmed with the licensee that they have coordinated the use of this counter drone technology with FAA, and they informed me that this technology only locates the UAVs; it does not interfere with the flight pattern of those UAVs in any way."

Aerial Armor supplies drone detection systems from various manufacturers, including smal1 radars and ones that work by spotting and tracking the unmanned aircraft's signal emissions. Some of them also include fu11-motion electro-optical and infrared video cameras that can be slewed to visually monitor targets of interest after the other sensors spot them.

It's not entirely clear what drove the decision at the time by the Palo Verde staff to set up systems to detect rather than knock down the drones. It's possible that the detections systems were the only ones readily available or that this was the established protocol for security at the plant at the time.

Regardless, it underscored serious questions about what the plant operators could actually do, legally, in response to the intrusions. "At this time, the pilots are not violating any laws or regulations by flying over the plant," Joseph Rivers, a now-retired Senior Level Advisor on Security fo r NRC, wrote in an Email on Oct 2.

"Since drones are aircraft and they are not violating a law, what is the action that can be taken legally if they locate the operator?" Mark Lombard, the Deputy Director of NRC's Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, asked in response. The next Email in the chain is unrelated t o that question and the one after that is redacted entirely. The last message in this particular string is also heavily censored, though it does say that "NEI h as a drone working group and we will bring these examples to them." NEI very likely refers to the Nuclear Ern.~rgy Institute, a nuclear energy trade association and lobby group in the United States.

It's unclear if whoever was flying the drones was still violating FAA regulations, which ban unmanned a ircraft from flying lower than 400 feet over "designated national security sensitive facilities," which includes nuclear power plants, even if they weren't technically breaking any laws. Arizona also has its own stat e law prohibiting drones from flying under 500 feet over any critical infrastructure, including power plants.

Without knowing the exact altitude the drones were flying at during the incursions, it's difficult to say what the exact legalities of the situation were. We also don't know for sure if authorities at Palo Verde didn't deploy counter-drone systems capable of actually knocking down unmanned aircraft later, though NRC's officials never mention any such development in the documents The War Zone reviewed.

What we do know is that by Oct. 3, with assistance from the FBI and the Department of Energy, officials at Palo Verde had begun the process of rectifying that situation and getting the airspace over the plant designated as restricted through the FAA.

"DOE is working closely with FAA to designate areas over NPPs [nuclear power plants] are no-fly zones and we are working to communicate to licensees what that means," Deputy Director Lombard wrote in an Email the following day. "At this time, we are not planning to impose new requierments [sic] on licensees, but the landscape is dynamic and changing."

None of the authorities involved in subsequent investigations into the two drone incursions over Palo Verde were able to determine the operators of the drones or their intent. ILTAB followed up with other officials within NRC on Oct. 28 to see if there had been any new developments an d had marked the two SID entries "closed unresolved" by Nov. 25.

Not An Isolated Incident

Whatever the exact story of what happened at Palo Verde might be, the internal Emails from NRC make clear that this was not an isolated incident. "We also had several high speed drones over Limerick [Generating Station in Pennsylvania]

that caused a VP to call about 8 months ago," Brian Holian, Director ofNRC's Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, 1/4Tote at one point.

"Yes, I agree that both of these overflight incidents at Palo Verde meet several criteria that we have historically used in triaging UAV overflights as particularly worthy of follow-up (# of UAYs involved, time of day, length of overflight, maneuvers, etc.)," another individual whose name is redacted added in the same Email chain.

Another response, from another redacted individual, is censored almost entirely.

"Just my two cents worth of an observation. I'm off to a tabletop exercise," the Email concludes with.

After the Palo Verde incidents, officials at ILTAB went back and checked and found 42 drone-related incident reports entered into the Security Information Database since 2016, including the two at the Arizona plant. There were a nother 15 in the system when they searched all the way back to Dec. 27, 2014. This includes another one involving a drone at Palo Verde, also "closed unresolved,"

on Dec. 21, 2017. NRC redacted information about all of these remaining cases as

non-responsive" to Douglas Johnson's FOIA request.

It's also clear that NRC hasn't been the only U.S. government entity grappling with this issue. Another Email notes that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), part of the Department of Energy, had recently added a "suspicious activity reporting requirement" with regards to incidents at sites under its jurisdiction, but that it was also unclear as to how to approach drone incursions, necessarily.

"I just met with Shana Helton [Director of the Physical & Cyber Security Policy Division of the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response] and J eremy Bowen [Deputy Director of the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research] for a detailed discussion about drones, FERC, and where we are with reporting requirements," Geoffrey Miller, Deputy Director of the Reactor Safety Division at the NRC's Region IV office, wrote.

"I look forward to that discussion," an individual, whose name is redacted, responded. "I would love to have a better understanding of where we are going as an Agency on the topic of drones."

"This week has been Drone-a-palooza for ssure [sic]," the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response's Deputy Director Lombard had written in an Email on Oct. 4. "With the two drone swarm flyovers at PVNGS [Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station] early in the week getting a lot of attention in the agency and outside (e.g., folks who work in the EEOB [Electrical Engineering Operating Reactors Division of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation]), we learned a lot and briefed a lot. And our DAV/drone Commission paper should go up to them next week."

Rules, regulations, and reporting requirements are, of course, just one part of the picture. Joseph Rivers, the NRC Senior Level Advisor on Security who was coordinating with various other individuals around the Palo Verde incidents, highlighted in one Email that none of this would do anything to directly prevent a hostile actor from using drones in a more nefarious way.

"I would point out that restricted airspace will do nothing to stop an adversarial attack and even the detection systems identified earlier in this email chain have limited success rates, and there is even lower likelihood that law enforcement will arrive quickly enough to actually engage with the pilots," he wrote.

"We should be focusing our attention on getting Federal regulations and laws changed to allow sites to be defended and to identify engineering fixes that would mitigate an adversarial attack before there our licensed facilities become vulnerable."

and Part 4 .

The Changes That Never Came The "drone-a-palooza" over America's most powerful nuclear powerplant represents an intriguing and puzzling mystery. Who had the capability to put at least around a half a dozen drones up over the plant for hours on two consecutive nights and why? The fact that drone incursions aren't totally new there, or at other major nuclear facilities, is equally concerning. But above all else, these internal documents show just how naive those tasked with dealing with such threats are to the potential nefarious capabilities of readily available unmanned aircraft.

Could smaller weaponized drones have the capability to trigger a catastrophic radiological event at a powerplant like Palo Verde? These facilities and the nuclear waste stored on their grounds are hardened to some degree, but that's not really the point. Even throwing the plant into disarray and disabling it for a protracted period of time could have substantial impacts on the region as millions depend on the plant for power. Coordinated attacks on other plants across a region could have even more damning, if not somewhat unthinkable impacts.

Strategically speaking, a st andoff capability with such a low barrier of acquisition, ease of use, and with such a high-chance of evasion for its perpetrators, is highly troubling. We will talk about these elements and tie together many other threads we have been weaving over the past year in an upcoming post, but for now, the Palo Verde drone scare of 2019 should be yet another reminder of how far we are behind dealing with this threat on a legislative, informational, and defensive level.

Oh, and if you think this event may have served as something of a wakeup call for the powers that be, you are mistaken. Just a month after it occurred, the NRC made the highly controversial, if not outright dubious decision to formally decline to require owners of U.S. nuclear power and waste storage facilities to be able to defend against drones.

"Staff has determined that nuclear power plants and Category I fuel cycle facilities do not have any risk-significant vulnerabilities that could be exploited using UAVs and result in radiological sabotage, theft of special nuclear material (SNM), or substantial diversion of SNM," according to NRC's review. "Similarly, the staff has detennined that information gained from UAVvideo surveillance of an NRC-licensed facility is bounded by the type of information that could be provided by the knowledgeable insider currently permitted in the DBTs [Design-Basis Threats]."

Physicist Edwin Lyman, acting director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit organization, stated the following about the decision:

"The NRC's irresponsible decision ignores the wide spectrum of threats that drones pose to nuclear facilities and is out of step with policies adopted by the Department ofEnergy and other government agencies...

Congress should demand that the NRC require nuclear facility owners to update their security plans to protect against these emerging threats.

Many companies are developing technologies to protect critical infrastructure from drone attacks through early detection, tracking, and jamming ... If the NRC were to add drones to the design basis threat, nuclear plant owners would likely to have to purchase such systems.

Laws would also have to be changed to allow private facilities to disrupt hostile drone flights. But plant owners are loath to spend more on safety and security at a time when many of their facilities are struggling to compete with cheap natural gas, wind and solar.

The NRC seems more interested in keeping the cost of nuclear plant security low than protecting Americans from terrorist sabotage that could cause a reactor meltdown ... The agency needs to remember that it works for the public, not the industry it regulates."

Sadly, it's unlikely that any action will be taken when it comes to the threat posed by lower-end drones until a catastrophe occurs. We will discuss just how much is at risk and highlight other even more concerning incidents that have all but proven how capable such an asymmetric and inconvenient threat can be in the very near future.

Regardless, the Palo Verde incidents serve as yet another warning of the potential dark side of the drones that fly among us daily.

FW: e-l:le- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Swarm Flyover Importance: High OUO - S~CURITY RELATED INr'OR:MATIOI~

All, We had an unusual drone swarm fly over Limerick last night. There was no ove11 threat, but the activity was highly unusual. Several drones were involved which appeared to be on a pre-programmed flight path. We also had a picture taker with a telephoto lens in the OCA earlier in the day, but tlhe individual left the scene before security could engage the individual.

I spoke with the Security Managei- today, and I learned something new. Apparently, the FAA has a program embedded in drones that will force the drones to land if they fly within a certain bubble around PA. You have to get a code from the FAA to defeat that feature if you want to fly inside that "bubble". In this case, Security thinks that these drones were able to fly through the "bubble" over the PA, so they either had the FAA code or they were able to hack through the FAA program. I am not sure if any of you knew about this drone feature. It would be great if someone from NSIR could contact FAA to learn more about this feature and communicate it out to everyone for awareness.

Also, take a look at the thread below. My new Deputy RA (Ray Lorson) asked a good question regarding our response. While I think we handl ed this particular issue appropriately in terms of our response, I think we may need to add a section to our IAT procedure to provide some additional guidance for drones, Specifically, what might constitute a sufficient "threat" to trigger an IAT call or other NRC actions'! We should probably discuss this on our next NSIR/Regional Branch Chief Counterparts call.

I did contact the ILTAB Duty Officer ~(b)(l )(C) ~ today just for awareness. We have seen previous activity similar to this at Diablo Canyon in the past. but no recent activity to suggest coordination with this new incident at Limerick. This may be worthy of mentioning at an upcoming Threat Brief.

Please feel free to share this with anyone having a need to know that I missed.

RE: 0tfB- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover OUO- SECURITY Rf;bAHm INf!ORMATIQN I would characterize this activity as very unusual but non-threatening. From my perspective, threatening activity would include extreme low altitude maneuvers over equipment or buildings that could potentially cause damage, actually cause damage or personnel injury, or landing in the PA or critical OCA areas such as the switchyards. I agree that it would be helpful to have a defined threshold for escalated NRC engagement. We will follow up with our peers.

Thanks, Ray M

RE: ~ SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover Ray - thanks. Agree with reaching out. I am not fam iliar with the airspace restrictions but it sounds like part of the flite was over the plant; in any event we should engage NSIR and develop a consistent approach for how to react to events like this. I am not clear how we differentiate a threat flyover from a non-threat fl yover?

RE:"0t!G- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover No. There was no threat and the drones were operating in unrestricted airspace under FAA regulations.

The drones were approximately 300-500 feet in the air and approximately 3-5 feet in diameter with amber colored lights as well as blinking red and white lights. A total of 4-6 drones were identified and observed by multiple members of the security organization.

The flight path of the drones was from the South East to North West over the PA circling South and East returning to the initial point the drones were first observed. Multiple drones took this same flight pattern for a duration of approximately 20-30 minutes. The flight path changed to a counter clockwise pattern over the OCA portion of the plant for approximately 40-60 minutes until the drones were no longer observable by the security force. The Security Supervisor was in contact with Limerick PD during the duration of situation. Limerick PD patrolled areas of the OCA with no adverse findings but did confirm drone activity and the size of the drones. No identifying marks or flight numbers could be observed on the drones.

The flight path changed to a counter clockwise pattern over the OCA portion of the plant for approximately 40-60 minutes until the drones were no longer observable by the security force. The Security Supervisor was in contact with Lim erick PD during the duration of situation. Limerick PD patrolled areas of the OCA with no adverse findings but did confirm drone activity and the size of t he drones. No identifying marks or flight numbers could be observed on the drones. All voluntary notifications made to the FAA and FBI offices.

For awareness, Exelon identified a small personal drone that traversed over the OCA last night. IT did not fly over the protected area, did not threaten personnel or equipment safety. and the site's security posture remained unchanged.

Exelon notified local law enforcement, the FAA, and the FBI field office, per station procedures, and submitted a SIDs report. ILTAB was notified.

RE: SID Notice: 08/10/2018 Date: Friday, August 10, 2018 12:47:55 PM QUO - SECURITY RELA TEQ INFORMAT ION

All, We are on top of this, and the right people know in NSIR ILTAB. We are in the SIDS process. While unusual and suspicious, there was no threat, and there were no additional actions for us to take. Similar activity has occurred at other facilities. The airspace over the sites is not restricted, so drones are free to fly in that airspace as long as they comply with FAA drone operating regulations I would be careful lowering the internal notification bar too low; otherwise, we are going to be getting a lot of nuisance calls. lt"s always a judgement call, and when in doubt feel free to call. This one was odd enough that it may have warranted some earlier internal communications, but I was fine getting notified this morning, and Jon did call me early this morning. It's always a judgement call, and when in doubt feel free to call. If a drone executes threatening low altitude maneuvering that could potentially cause or actually damage to equipment or cause personnel, or if it lands inside the PA. then absolutely send up a flare to get us involved and we will engage the NSIR ILTAB Team. If your Division wants to be notified at a lower threshold. then that is up to them. but the notification threshold can be quite fuzzy to define with these drones. There is no one size fits all.

Thanks.

OUO - S~CURJTY RELATED INFORMATION FYI. Coordinated drone activity over Limerick. There was no threat, and the drone activity is legal under FAA regulations. The licensee took appropriate action and reported the activity to local law enforcement, and made voluntary notifications to NRC, FBI, and FAA.

Plant Support Branch will reach out to ILTAB for awareness.

Ifwe receive any external inquiries, then would recommend limiting comments as follows:

• We are aware of the drone overflight activity.

• The drones did not present a threat to the facility.

• Drone overflights arc not prohibited under FAA regulations.

• Any questions regarding FAA drone regulations should be referred to FAA.

Chris Mudrick call; drones over Limerick I just had a short call with Chris. He was letting me know site actions for what have been repeat drone flights of extended duration over the Limerick site. He has submitted a SID notification.

He wanted to give me more detail. They are large drones with extended flight duration (eg. an hour).

The site has notified local law enforcement. FBI is also following Interestingly the Limerick site is in a no fly zone due to their proximity to Limerick air field.

The last occasion was at night. The drones - multiple - did have lights on. He is not worried about site security. But wanted to ensure we were involved and had a discussion should he get press interest Brian Holian

RE: OOB- SID Distribution- L*merick Drone Flyover Separately. I'm sharing with the other BCs as a learning. I reviewed our DRP policy for when the residents should notify the BC after-hours (again, had he been called). The only security-related item in there is:

A security event or events that require a security investigation I was surprised there wasn't one for a change in security posture. The reason I looked there is because that is what we used at SUS for communicating expectations to the site for when we should be called. The thought was that if I'm expected to call the BC, then I better make sure I get notified. We had a couple other lower threshold items included as well.

In this case, there's one in there for notification of offsite authorities so we should have been covered regardless.

I'll take a look if this should be added to a future revision to the policy.

FW:-ootr- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover Date: Monday, August 13, 2018 7:56:44 AM Ray will be late this morningl(b)(?)(C) ~

This drone issue was a hot topic at the NEI Security/EP Summit in June (I was presenting for a couple of things). It is my understanding that the air space above NPPs is still public.

The NOTAM (notice to airmen) that the FAA issued years ago is applicable to drones, but it just says do not loiter above. It is not a no fly zone.

There are requirements associated with drones that were likely not followed in these cases:

minimum/maximum altitude, notification of airports within a certain distance (Limerick airport is certainly within this distance from the site), and line of site piloting which is required unless you have an FAA exemption.

At the summit, industry discussed some sites that are attempting to get FAA approval for a no fly zone or at least an exemption to "take action" on drones over their airspace. Nothing substantive from those efforts with FAA yet.

Let me know if you want someone to stop down.

Jack, I think that may have been in a response email from Ray McKinley. I'm on the road at Peach Bottom today, but will make sure Ray stops down to answer your questions.

All that said, my understanding is that the basis is that it's public airspace and as long as they are operating in accordance with FAA drone guidelines, it is not against the law. That said, similar to a photographer that parks on public property and takes pictures of a NPP, plant security engages LLEA to attempt to intercept the responsible parties to identify their intentions and would likely request voluntary deletion of any photographs.

ACE LITTER: Attend NRC meeting May 21 to voice concerns about Limerick nuke plant Date: Thursday, May 21, 2015 7:14:00 AM Info Only The Mercury (http://www,pottsmerc.com )

LETTERS: Attend NRC meeting May 21 to voice concerns about Limerick nuke plant Wednesday, May 20. 2015 Diane Screnci's April 19 letter claiming "Safety is primary concern of NRC" is refuted by reality.

If NRC's primary concern was safety, NRC would be closing Limerick Nuclear Plant as soon as possible, NRC has in fact shown reckless disregard for the consequences of Limerick Nuclear Plant operations on the people in the Greater Philadelphia Region , Despite ACE's repeatedly expressed public concerns on a broad range of unprecedented health and safety issues related to Limerick, NRC's responses have shown that NRC really doesn't care about health and safety. NRC's reckless disregard is identified by inaction related to Limerick's threats and harms below:

• More radiation releases from Limerick using high-bum fuel

• Radioactive contamination of vital drinking water resources

• Depletion and pollution of drinking water for almost two million people from Pottstown to Philadelphia

• Massive PMIO air pollution (more deadly than ozone) from Limerick's cooling towers

• Faster corrosion of equipment and systems than estimated

• Unprecedented earthquake risk could result in Fukushima-like multiple meltdowns

• Tons of deadly high-level radioactive wastes piling up on-site, in our back yard, with no long-term safe solution

• More dangerous high-level radioactive waste storage and transport from using high bum fuel

• Limerick is less safe four years after Fukushima, NRC failed to require Exelon comply with NRC's post Fukushima recommendations to minimize meltdown risks

• Inadequate safeguards against terrorists air strikes, missiles, drones and cyber attack threats

• Derailment and/or explosions from crude oil bomb trains traveling through the Limerick site Costs to Exelon always trump public safety in NRC decisions. Exelon is making a mockery of NRC's 2012 Post-Fukushima Orders to prevent meltdowns. NRC is allowing Exelon to delay costs of compliance (for up to seven years, maybe longer),

That seriously jeopardizes the health and financial interests of millions of people in the Greater Philadelphia Region because NRC' s 2012 recommendations were about mitigating meltdown risks at Limerick, Meltdown threats are increasing dramatically at Limerick from massive fracking that can trigger earthquakes, to tornado wind/missile hazards, and cyber and drone attacks. Yet, Limerick' s Fukushima like reactors are no safer now than before the Fukushima meltdowns in 2011:

• Despite increasing risks for Limerick meltdowns, NRC allowed Exelon to avoid costs for radiation filters. In 2012, NRC's own staff said these filters were imperative, regardless of cost to industry, because the vents installed to minimize explosions would become "radioactive fire hoses into the sky." Three years after NRC's 2012 orders, Exelon still doesn't even have plans completed for vents.

• Despite increasing risk of earthquakes from fracking, and the unprecedented risk of meltdowns from Limerick's reactors and fuel pools built with substandard cement directly over fault fractures, NRC is ignoring risks. Four other earthquake faults are within 17 miles of Limerick. Even the August 23, 2011 Virginia earthquake jolted Limerick. Miles of Limerick's underground pipes and cables vital to preventing meltdowns can be disrupted, yet are not actually inspected. Often, NRC allows Limerick's monitoring systems to remain inoperable for long periods of time, even over a year sometimes. NRC's solution to Limerick's unprecedented earthquake risks: Allow Exelon until 2019 to complete a "self serving seismic study." Hardly risk reduction!

• Despite increasing tornado risks, even in our region, NRC admitted in its March 17 audit report that Limerick is not reasonably protected against the tornado wind/missile hazard. Equipment needed to mitigate a tornado would not be available.

NRC' s PR people appear to be either uninformed or ethically challenged. How could Ms.

Screnci claim NRC cares about safety?

NRC is holding a public meeting at the Limerick Township Building Thursday, May 21 ,

(right before Memorial Day weekend). Another tactic to limit public participation. If you can attend, please talk to ACE members with graphics identifying all the reasons why NRC should close Limerick if they really care about our safety.

I'm guessing that he's thinking of a gee-fencing feature (voluntarily) implemented by certain drone manufacturers such as OJI, for certain models or drones ((1) bttps llwww.heliguy.com/blog/2017/02/16/heliguys..guide-to-geofeociog/: (2) bttps*llwww theatlaotic com/technology/archive/2017/03/dranes-,ov,s,ble-fence-president/5183610. Such features rely on data provided by FAA to establish "no-fly-zones." However, just to be clear, not all drones are equipped with this kind of safety technology

FW: OUO- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Swarm Flyover Importance: High 000 - SECORI f Y RELA I ED INFORMATION

All, We bad an unusual drone swarm fly over Limerick last night. There was no overt threat, but the activity was hjghly wmsual. Several drones were involved which appeared to be on a pre-programmed flight path. We also had a picture taker with a telephoto lens in the OCA earlier in the day, but the individual left the scene before security could engage the individual.

I spoke with the Security Manager today, and I learned something new. Apparently, the FAA has a program embedded in drones that will force the drones to land if they fly within a certain bubble around PA. You have to get a code from the FAA to defeat that feature if you want to fly inside that "bubble". ln this case, Security thinks that these drones were able to fly through the "bubble" over the PA, so they either had the FAA code or they were able to hack through the FAA program. I am not sure if any of you knew about this drone feature. It would be great if someone from NSJR could contact FAA to learn more about this feature and communicate it out to everyone for awareness.

Also, take a look at the thread below. My new Deputy RA (Ray Lorson) asked a good question regarding our response. While I think we handled this particular issue appropriately in terms of our response, I think we may need to add a section to our lAT procedure to provide some additional guidance for drones. Specifically, what might constitute a sufficie nt "threat" to trigger an IAT call or other NRC actions? We should probably discuss this on our next NSIR/Regional Branch Chief Counterparts caJI.

I did contact the ILTAB Duty Officer~b)(7)(C) ~oday just for awareness. We have seen previous activity similar to this at Dia lo Canyon m the past, but no recent activity to suggest coordination with this new incident at Limerick. This may be worthy of mentioning at an upcoming Threat Brief.

Please feel free to share this with anyone having a need to know that I missed.

RE:-OUO- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover OUO - SECURITY RELATED INFORMATION' l would characterize this activity as very unusual but non-threatening. From my perspective, threatening activity would include extreme low altitude maneuvers over equipment or buildings that could potentially cause damage, actually cause damage or personnel injury, or landing in the PA or critical OCA areas such as the switchyards. 1 agree that it would be helpful to have a defined threshold for escalated NRC engagement. We will follow up with our peers.

Thanks, RayM

RE: 8Be- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover Ray - thanks. Agree with reaching out. l am not familiar with the airspace restrictions but it sounds like part of the flite was over the plant; in any event we should engage NSIR and develop a consistent approach for how to react to events like this. I am not clear how we differentiate a threat flyover from a non-threat flyover?

RE: 00-Q- SID Distribution- Limerick Drone Flyover No. There was no threat and the drones were operating in unrestricted airspace under FAA regulations. We will engage the ILTAB duty officer for awareness. This type of activity has occurred at other facilities such as Diablo Canyon. Worthy of note, but no need for an IAT call.
