Title	Potentially Contaminated Individual Transported to a Hospital
Event Description	While performing work on the refuel floor, an operator received a hand injury. The first aid team responded and the injured hand was covered. Radiation Protection personnel verified that the individual was free of contamination with the exception of the injured hand that had been covered by the first aid team. The individual was transported to an offsite medical facility for treatment as a potentially contaminated injured man. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will notify the state. * * UPDATE PROVIDED BY COSTEDIO TO KOZAL ON 8/31/2006 AT 1402 EDT * * * Two site Radiation Protection (RP) technicians accompanied the injured man to the hospital. These technicians collected the materials that came into contact with the injured hand that had not been surveyed prior to transport. At the hospital, the bandage that had been applied by the first aid team was removed and no contamination was found on the bandage. The cotton glove liner, that had been left on the hand when the first aid team removed the rubber outer glove, was surveyed and found to have low level contamination on it (100 - 250 Counts per minute above background (CPM)). The cotton glove liner was removed and the hand was surveyed and found to be free of contamination. Prior to leaving the hospital the RP technicians and the hospital radiation safety officer surveyed the patient, the areas of the hospital facility where the patient had been, and the ambulance. The results of these surveys showed no radiological contamination. The contamination of the cotton glove liner is believed to be due to leaching or transference from the rubber glove, that was being worn by the individual as he was working on the refuel bridge mast, when it was removed by the first aid team. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1DO (Dwyer).
