A guard at the Indian Point nuclear power plant was found asleep at his post yesterday.
“It was only after repeated attempts to get the guard’s attention that the officer opened his eyes,” Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said.
The discovery, which was made by a federal inspector, isn’t good news for the plants’ owner, Entergy Nuclear Northeast. Activists who want the plants shut already question their security as well as safety.
“This does not reflect responsible leadership at Indian Point,” U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, the Democrat from Harrison, said.
