OFFSITE NOTIFICATION - INJURED SECURITY GUARD

At 1538 CT, 02/11/02 Control Room received a phone call from security that a guard had received a laceration and needed medical attention. Site emergency medical technicians were paged to respond and offsite ambulance and rescue personnel were notified to respond. A security sergeant and one site EMT accompanied the injured guard to Blair Memorial Hospital, leaving the site at 1601CT.

The injured guard was closing a security gate when high winds caused him to lose control of the gate. The razorwire attached to the gate struck the guard on the back of his head behind his left ear. The cut turned out to be minor (requiring only several stitches) however the razor wire had nicked a small artery causing larger amounts of blood flow that otherwise would have occurred.

The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.
