| Title | Contaminated and Injured Employee Transported to Offsite Medical Facility |
| Event Description | No System or Plant affect.
At 08:22 AM EST, an injured Contractor worke[r] who was potentially contaminated was transported by ambulance to an offsite medical facility. The Contract employee fell approximately 15 to 20 feet in the Unit 1 Circulation Water box which is located in the Condenser Bay area. Unit 1 is presently in Cold Shutdown and in Mode 4 for a scheduled Refueling Outage. The employee received cuts to the forehead and nose and an injury to the arm and also some back pain. In an effort to provide medical treatment as the first priority, decontamination efforts were not completed on site and the individual was transported as potentially contaminated. The injured cont[r]act employee was also accompanied by a Health Physics Technician. Upon arrival at the hospital and while receiving medial care, the Health Physics technicians did discover a 500 dpm/cm2 spot of contamination on the back of the head of the injured person. Decontamination efforts are underway while medical treatment is rendered. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
