Chief of the Security Performance Evaluation section and led the creation of a

new Force-on-Force T esting Program. Later, I became the Chief of the
Security Liaison Branch and coordinated the NRC’s security activities with
other agencies, including DoD, FBI, state and local law enforcement and

others.

As a Resident and Senior Resident Inspector, I ensured the safe construction

and operation of the power plants I was assigned. I reviewed all aspects of the
facilities and coordinated other specialty inspectors when needed. As a
Diagnostic Evaluation T eam Leader, I identified the root causes of

performance issues and corrective actions needed at power plants of concern
to the Commission, including any contributing NRC performance issues.
During incident investigation, I ensured the safe resolution of the incident and
identified the root causes, including contributing NRC issues. The Revised

Reactor Oversight Program made better use of NRC resources, fully engaged
the industry in performance improvement activities and informed the public
with greater clarity . This program is still in use. The NRC’s security

organization immediately responded on 9/11 to ensure the safety and security
of all nuclear facilities in the United States. While it was recognized that U.S.
nuclear power plants are among the most hardened facilities in the world,
following 9/11, we reviewed and strengthened the security programs at all

nuclear facilities and worked with other agencies to address their concerns

with nuclear-related issues.

During my career with NRC, I received many performance awards, including
cash bonuses and step increases. I also received a Distinguished Service
A ward for my work associated with the revised Reactor Oversight Program

and my actions during and following 9/11.
