TRANSPORT OF POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED WORKER OFFSITE
"On 09/22/2013 at 1940 CDT, Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) requested an offsite ambulance via the 911 system for medical assistance for an individual in the radiologically controlled area. The person was treated as potentially contaminated because a complete survey to confirm the absence of contamination was not completed prior to transport of the individual. An ambulance arrived on site at 1956 CDT and departed the site at 2036 CDT to the Red Wing Minnesota Hospital. PINGP radiation protection personnel accompanied the individual to the hospital. A survey at the hospital determined that the individual was not contaminated.
"This is considered a transport of a potentially contaminated individual requiring an 8 hour ENS Notification per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xii).
"The Prairie Island Indian Community was notified of the transport of an individual by ambulance.
"This is considered a notification of another government agency and an event that may have potential interest to the media requiring a 4 hour ENS Notification per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi).
"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector."
