| Title | Potentially Contaminated Individual Transported to a Medical Facility |
| Event Description | At 1500 CST on 3/10/17, the Safety Department notified the Zion ISFSI Shift Supervisor that a contracted employee was injured while working inside of Unit 2 containment. The individual was struck in the back by a cable. This individual required off-site medical treatment, and an ambulance responded to site at 1508 CST. At 1520 CST, It was decided that this event was to be treated as a potentially contaminated injured individual being transported to an off-site medical facility. Vista East Medical Center was notified at 1523 CST to prepare for the receipt of the potentially contaminated individual. A Radiation Protection Technician and a Radiation Protection Supervisor accompanied the injured person to the hospital in an ambulance which departed the site at 1525 CST. A preliminary radiation survey was performed inside the ambulance at 1536 CST which detected no contamination on the individual. Due to the nature of the injury, a complete body survey was unachievable at that time. The ambulance arrived at the hospital at 1552 CST. At 1554 CST, Radiation Protection Technician performed a more comprehensive contamination survey in which no contamination was detected on the individual. Again, due to the nature of the injury, a whole body survey was still unable to be completed. At 1609 CST, a survey encompassing the individual's entire body was performed by the Radiation Protection Technician and no contamination was found.
