No they can’t. But this guy should have simply woke them up.
Instead he let them sleep, observed this behavior for who knows how long, until he devised a plan to hopefully cash in on it by recording it over several days and selling it to the highest bidder. He didn’t want to let them defend themselves by saying it was one time thing after a late night football party or something.
By doing that, he knowingly and willingly increased the security risk for selfish reasons. Makes him just as guilty should something have happened.

Exclusive: Nuke Plant Whistleblower Explains Why
Says Guards Caught On Tape Sleeping Is Unacceptable
Snippet:
...that man says he alerted his security company of the security breach but his warnings were ignored.
Snippet:
Our whistleblower caught on tape almost a dozen of these officers sleeping at different times of the day on three different days. Before he decided to even shoot the video he says he tried to warn his supervisors.
But the reaction he received wasn’t what he expected:
“Let’s not talk about that. There’s going to be a big investigation. You’re going to find yourself in the middle of that. It’ll be harder for you to work here. You need to concentrate on being part of this team.”
NZ, I had to search for more information. See above post. It was impossible for me to determine the motivation of person who had video taped the other officers from just the one article.
I see a benefit to this story’s release. Security at the various nuclear facilities will be more closely scrutinized and hopefully the outcome will be improved service provided.
