Jenkinsville, SC 29065

SUBJECT: THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION RESPONSE TO

DISPUTED NOTICE OF NON-CITED VIOLATION 05000395/2017201-01

Dear Mr. Lippard:

Thank you for your letter dated April 6, 2017, in response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) Security Inspection Report 05000395/2017201, issued on March 10, 2017.

In your response, you contested that the responders acted appropriately in accordance with

established site procedures and, therefore, did demonstrate the appropriate use of force. You

additionally requested that Exercise One be characterized as successful rather than

indeterminate.

We appreciate the information you provided. Upon consideration of that information, the Office

of Nuclear Security and Incident Response has determined that the documented violation did

not occur and the exercise should be characterized as successful. A revised inspection report

will be issued reflecting these decisions. The enclosure to this letter provides the basis for our

conclusion.

Enclosure transmitted herewith contains SUNSI. When separated from enclosure, this

transmittal document is decontrolled.
