ELECTRICIAN FLASH BURNED IN SWITCHGEAR ROOM

"Offsite Notifications have been made to Blair Rescue Squad due to an OPPD electrician suffering second and third degree burns to arms, face and torso while working on switchgear. The employee has been transported via life flight helicopter to Creighton University Hospital. The flash actuated the Switchgear Room Halon system. Operations verified that there was no fire in the Switchgear Rooms. Recovery efforts are under way.

"A media release is expected."

A continuous fire watch has been established in the Switchgear Room as a compensatory measure.

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
