If through subsequent reviews of this event, additional information is identified that is pertinent to this event or alters the information being provided at this time, a follow-up notification will be made via the ENS or under the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.73.
On February 19, 2009, at approximately 11:20 Mountain Standard Time (MST), an employee of Arizona Public Service (APS) was injured while working at the Palo Verde Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) which is considered to be a radiologically controlled area (RCA). The ISFSI is located within the owner controlled area but outside the plant's protected area. The ISFSI has been evaluated as having a very low probability for contamination, so administrative controls are used to allow workers access into the ISFSI and return to the appropriate Unit RCA egress point located in the protected area where personnel monitoring for contamination is performed prior to leaving the site. Upon exiting the ISFSI area, the individual was initially transported to the Palo Verde Medical Clinic to attend to the injury. Subsequently, the individual was transported to an offsite medical facility for further evaluation. The individual was not monitored for contamination prior to being transported offsite. The individual and the transporting vehicle were frisked offsite and found to be free of contamination. There were no exposures from licensed material and no consequence to the public or environment." Injured person was an employee of licensee. Employee was transported to the hospital via private owned vehicle. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. |
