I for one have a tremendous honor & privilege of saying that I have attended a training course as a non-US Citizen @INL. I can say most assuredly that it is indeed a very unique opportunity and realistic learning environment. I think only someone very foolish would not take and gain the most of the possible learned outcomes. Ultimately like most activities we undertake in life you only get out what you put into it. Hi Dale,

Apologies for being so quiet lately the level of chaos at the salt mine have kept even someone like me that rarely sleeps very busy.

The test bed is of sufficient size and scale to offer insight and recognition of many potential issues applicable in securing a plant site.

The others attending came away with what they thought was a lot of useful information, but was really just a drop in the bucket. A case of, "A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing."

They all raved about it and particularly how practical and applicable it is. I rarely here such a universal, strongly positive reaction, and I'm trying to do a podcast just on this training course. As I've said in previous podcasts, this course seems to be a success story and it is just a shame that they can't schedule a lot more courses to meet the demand.

Well, we all know that the fellows from INL do a good job, but I have hard time figuring out the rationale behind the red/blue team setup, playing with "a small control system environment". Do we have information on how the insight gained with this small test bed can be translated to real-world installations with hundreds or thousands of networked peripherals? “The exercise … is aimed at providing attendees with skills that are immediately applicable to their real environments.”

They had 60ish people register and only accepted 30ish for July's engagement. The rest are on the waiting list for next quarter's exercise. The worst part?
