OFFSITE NOTIFICATION REGARDING CONTAMINATED INJURED INDIVIDUAL TAKEN OFFSITE
"At 1350, an injury occurred to a worker when the individual fell and injured his back. At 1426, the worker was attended by local Emergency Medical Personnel who transported the individual to our local Hospital. Initial frisking of the individual showed no contamination, but due to his back injury his back was not able to be completely monitored until arrival to the hospital. At the hospital, it was determined the individual had three small (quarter size) and very low level contaminated spots of 100 counts corrected above the background of 80 counts per minute. One spot was located in the back of the individual's head and immediately removed with water. Two additional spots were detected on the worker's pants and these were also immediately removed. The individual was further surveyed and no contamination was found. No dose was received by the individual as a result of the contamination. The decon materials and clothing was contained and returned to the plant by radiation safety supervision. The ambulance, hospital personnel and hospital materials were all surveyed and released as no contamination was detected.
"It was determined at 1555, that the individual was contaminated and per our procedures notifications will be made to the State Of Ohio and the local county Emergency Management Agencies of the incident. Due to the offsite notifications a 4 hour non-emergency call is required."
The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this event by the licensee.
