POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED PERSON TRANSPORTED OFFSITE BY AMBULANCE.

This report is being made to communicate the transportation of a potentially radioactive contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment under 10CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(xii). At 1138 EDT the Unit 1 Control Room was notified that an individual had fallen on the Refueling Floor striking her head on the floor. The First Responders and Health Physics personnel responded to attend the individual and requested that the injured person be transported offsite to the Appling General Hospital in Baxley, Ga. At 1200 EDT the individual was transported offsite via ambulance. The individual left offsite prior to the initial onsite survey for radioactive contamination had been completed. This report is being made since there was a potential for contamination. The initial survey was completed at the hospital and it was determined that neither the individual nor any clothing was contaminated.

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