RE: U.S.: Nuclear Plant Cheated During Drill

["Taylor, Douglas" <Douglas.Taylor@shawgrp.com>]

   Security drills have to be known of in advance. I can think of at least two reasons why advance notice is given.  First, you do not want the security detail responding to a drill with live ammunition.  This would be very bad PR.  Second, during a drill, physical security has to be maintained on the site, i.e., security supervisors have to make sure that sectors involved in the drill are covered by personnel who are not participating in the drill.  Actual security is at its weakest during a drill, when a significant amount of resources and attention are being consumed by the scenario.  It makes perfect sense to detail the drill plan to on-duty supervisors prior to the drill.



   I think the term "cheating" is a bit strong.
