It was immediately reported that this person fell about 4 feet off of the Reactor Head (while the Reactor Head was on the head stand) and potentially had head/back trauma. At 1210, Miami Metro Dade Fire and Rescue (911) was called. At 1218, Medical and Safety personnel arrived in containment and began preparation to transport the individual outside of containment. At 1225, Metro Dade Fire and Rescue arrived on site. At 1240, the individual was transported outside of containment via the equipment hatch. At 1253, FPL Radiation Protection reported to the control room that due to the individual's injuries and the difficulty in completing a full frisk, the individual would be transported offsite as a potentially contaminated-injured person. At 1255, security contacted the control room and stated that Metro Dade Fire and Rescue received the individual and began transport offsite to Baptist Hospital, Miami, Florida. At 1408,an FPL Radiation Protection representative that traveled to Baptist Hospital reported that the individual's clothing (protected clothing and modesty garments) was contaminated at 200 corrected cps > background. No skin contamination was found. An FPL Radiation Protection representative at Baptist Hospital took physical control of all material brought to the hospital from the site and are transporting all material back to site.
The ambulance, other equipment, people, and structures with whom the contaminated individual and his clothing made contact between the containment control point and the hospital were surveyed, showed no contamination, and released. The individual was an FPL employee, and was staging equipment at a work site. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
