Public MeetingFebruary 5, 2019 Public MeetingPurpose:*Provide an update related to staff's proposed revision to the Force

-on-Force (FOF) Inspection Process in response to SRM

-SECY-17-0100.*Ensure a common understanding regarding staff's proposed response.

Background

• SECY-17-0100 -Staff provided options for improving the FOF inspection program and discussed work on crediting operator actions and LLEA

• SRM-SECY-17-0100 --Approved staff's recommendation to modify the FOF inspection program to include one NRC

-conducted FOF exercise and an enhanced inspection of a licensee-conducted annual exercise

-Directed staff to develop and submit a framework for a revised security inspection program, including how an indeterminate exercise is addressed*Response to the Commission due in April 2019 Proposed Revision to FOF Inspection Program

• Revision to inspection procedures

-71130.03 FOF

-71130.05 Protective Strategy and Performance Evaluation Program

• Revision to FOF SDP*Evaluation of Indeterminate Exercises Baseline Security Inspection Program

• Modifications to the Force

-on-Force (FOF) inspection activity (IP 71130.03)

-Reduced the number of exercises

-Reduced DIE hours

-Revised inspection procedure to focus on performance based aspects of inspection activity

-Revised Significance Determination Process for FOF exercise outcomes Baseline Security Inspection Program

• Modifications to the licensee

-conducted inspection activity (IP 71130.05)

-Expanded guidance related to:

• Scenario Planning and Development

• Adversary Preparation and Planning

• MILES -Calibration, Testing, and Maintenance Overview of Proposed Revision Force-on-Force Significance Determination Process

• FOF SDP revised to assess single exercise

-Ineffective Outcome

• Green Finding

• Maintain Re

-CAM Review

-Evaluation of Licensee

• Implementing and refining operational control measures to minimize indeterminate outcomes

-Expanded evaluations (resurrecting and or resetting players)

-Consideration associated with total security baseline inspection program effort

• If the exercise is evaluated as Indeterminate:

-An additional NRC

-conducted exercise will be required to satisfy Atomic Energy Act Requirements

-NRC will coordinate with the licensee to schedule inspection effort QUESTIONS
