(CBS) PEACH BOTTOM TOWNSHIP, Pa. They’re on duty and fast asleep, security guards that are supposed to be protecting a major terrorist target in the United States.

CBS 2 HD’s three-month investigation into the security gap at our nation’s nuclear facilities yielded some shocking information and video, and now officials have told CBS 2 first that the contract with the major security firm that hired the guards will be terminated.

The video shows the inside of the nation’s largest nuclear facilities. There are images of security officers responsible for protecting the plant against a terrorist attack, an attack that could kill or injure tens of thousands, including people here in our area.

But instead of being alert and prepared for anything, the officers are asleep and unaware a fellow guard is videotaping these disturbing images shot at different times of the day.
