| Title | Contaminated, Injured Person Transported Offsite |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the licensee via facsimile:
At 1405 [hrs. CDT], Shift Manager was notified that a contract individual in containment had collapsed and needed EMT [Emergency Medical Technician]. At 1410, Shift Manager called for an ambulance and individual was transported out of containment. At 1443, he [the injured person] was transported offsite to the hospital. Shift manager notified hospital of individual being contaminated. HP [Health Physics technician] identified minor contamination on the hair on the back of his head, ~200 cpm [counts per minute]. Shift Manager also contacted State Department of Health and Family Services [Radiation Protection Section]. The patient's status is unknown at this time but appears to be heat stress related. The contamination appears to be the result of a co-worker catching the patient when he was falling down. Plant Health Physics personnel attempted to decontaminate the patient but were unsuccessful. The patient was transported to Two Rivers Hospital in Two Rivers, WI. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
