Logically thinking I can't imagine there being three (3) off duty guards sleeping at the same time as the article states.

I remember seeing the video, and if i'm remembering correctly it was more than 3 guys sleeping. Also at the time, it was stated that it was a break room, or a ready room. But that sleeping was not allowed, since they were still on the clock. So clearly they were breaking the rules, end of story. I had heard stories back then of people sleeping in the guard posts too. So this wasn't an isolated problem.

Hearing a story doesn'tmake it true. I don't know thats it's as big a problem as you think. Don't get me wrong, if there are rules against sleeping then these cats are busted, but don't base that on "stories" you heard.

The NRC has policies in place that expressly prohibit anyone, including security officers from sleeping or being otherwise "inattentive to duty" while on the clock. Anywhere on the property or "Owner controlled area" of any NRC regulated facility. The security guards in the tape were all armed at the time the video was taken, which shows that they were on duty, as no one but on duty security officers qualified under approved standards are allowed to be armed in a controlled area. This is a problem that is rampant in the nuclear energy industry.

The contractor supplying the guards was subsequently fired by Exelon at all of its 11 generating stations, although many of the previously employed guards were re-hired by Exelon.

That got me too. A place like this should be providing comfortable recliners for a quick power nap. It would result in the guards being more alert while on duty in what must be a boring as hell job.
