Event Text
INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORTED TO OFFSITE MEDICAL DUE TO INJURY

"At 0850 CDT, on 10/5/2019, the control room was notified of a personnel injury in the Unit 1 containment building. The individual was considered potentially contaminated since a complete frisk could not be performed prior to transport to a local hospital. At 1234 CDT, a radiological survey determined that the individual and their clothing had trace amounts of activity that was easily removed. The employee did not sustain any life threatening injuries.

"This is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xii).

"Additionally, at 1135 CDT contact was made with the Arkansas Department of Health about transport of the potentially contaminated individual. This is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to notification of an offsite agency.

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
