Official Indian Point Pin Up Girl?For months now, rumors have been flying around the internet that Entergy's Indian Point workers had adopted Penthouse's "March Pet of The Month" (Betcee May) as their official pin up girl with her image making appearances in various lockers, and even the employee break room. It made for a titillating, even juicy bit of gossip, but seems there may be some truth to it after all.
Cruising the internet today looking for nuclear industry dirt, I came across the NRC Office Of Inspector General's Report to Congress. Seems the NRC's computers were being used by staff, contractor employees, and GUARDS to cruise internet porn sites! Read for yourselves, and then wonder when something critical will be missed in mid drool by NRC, reactor staff, or a guard who is bored in the middle of the night. Perhaps the time has come to rename the NRC, "Pervs R Us"?

Misuse of NRC Computers To Access Pornographic Material

OIG completed a proactive review for fiscal years 2001 through 2003 to identify the potential misuse of information technology resources by NRC employees and contractors. This review centered on the network activity passing through the NRC’s primary conduit to the Internet and identified NRC computers requesting and receiving materials from Web sites containing sexually explicit materials. The preliminary information was confirmed using computer forensic methods and resulted in 30 investigations of NRC employees and contractors.
As a result of the investigations, OIG found that 22 NRC employees and 7 contractor employees were routinely accessing sexually explicit Internet sites from their assigned NRC computers. Each of the subjects of these investigations confessed to their activities and, furthermore, each indicated they were aware of the NRC’s policies against accessing such materials. Responsive action taken by NRC toward its employees ranged from a 21-day suspension to job termination.
Additionally, OIG discovered that the NRC contract guard force was misusing their Internet access on computers provided by the NRC in violation of specific provisions within their contract with the NRC. The NRC is currently negotiating with the contract guard force and a contractor providing computer services to deduct the value of the hours lost to these unapproved and non-contract related activities which has been estimated at over $17,000.
