| Title | Injured Personnel with Severed Contaminated Fingers Transported Offsite |
| Event Description | No reactor systems were impacted, no initiations of any safety systems or any plant events occurred. Report is for transportation of contaminated fingers with an injured non-contaminated person to a hospital for potential reattachment.
Fermi 2 is currently in a refueling outage. At 0300, the control room was informed that an individual, who was assisting in rigging of a Reactor Shield Block ([approximately] 100 tons), received an injury when his fingers were pinched between the Reactor Cavity wall and the Reactor Shield Block severing portions of two fingers. The portions of the fingers remained in PC Clothing (gloves) and decontamination was unsuccessful. The fingers were treated as contaminated material and transported to the hospital by radiation protection personnel. This material [contaminated fingers] was deemed unusable and at 0540 all bio-hazard/contaminated material was returned to the Fermi site. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
