new Force-on-Force Testing 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 Team 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
Award for my work associated with the revised Reactor Oversight Program
and my actions during and following 9/11.
I am Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Mazetis and I attended the U.S, Naval Academy
(USNA) at Annapolis, Maryland, and graduated from USNA with a Bachelor
of Science in Marine Engineering in 1963. After serving two years at sea as
an officer aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Conyngham (DDG-17)
out of Norfolk, Virginia, I began a two-year service in 1965 as an Admiral’s
Aide to the Commander of the Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia.
During this tour, I married my high school sweetheart, Miss Cecelia Ann
