Event Text
INJURED WORKER TAKEN OFFSITE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

"An ambulance responded to the site to assist a worker with a head injury. The worker was transported as potentially contaminated to an offsite medical facility.

"Follow-up to the above information, it was later determined that the worker was not contaminated."

The contract worker was in secondary containment climbing a ladder when he hit his head on a scaffold pole. He was transported to Pottstown Memorial Hospital.

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
