BUCHANAN - The security guard found sleeping on the job at Indian Point during the summer was not a significant safety lapse, according to a report released yesterday by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The agency ruled that the Aug. 26 incident, in which an on-site NRC inspector needed nearly two minutes to awaken the guard, merited a green rating, the NRC's grade for "very low safety significance."
