All required security supervisor positions will be filled. NRC security inspectors have been on-site assessing the licensees preparations and the training of the augmented security force and will continue to monitor the utilitys actions to ensure that augmented personnel are qualified and capable of protecting the plant against any security contingency.
The NRC will continue to assess the licensees handling of the situation until it is resolved.
The information presented herein has been discussed with the license and is current as of 9:30 a.m., August 29, 2019.
