Nuclear plant security guard suspended

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - April 30, 2008 Plant spokesman Ralph DeSantis won't elaborate on what led to the guard's suspension on Tuesday and won't identify the man.

DeSantis says a plant supervisor discovered the guard wasn't paying attention in the afternoon.

DeSantis says no security breach or safety problem occurred as a result of the incident. He says the suspension will remain in effect pending an investigation.

Federal rules require critical nuclear plant employees to be attentive at all times.
