10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xii), Transport of a Contaminated Person Offsite

Transport of a Contaminated Person Offsite

(xii) Any event requiring the transport of a radioactively contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment.

If not reported under 10 CFR 50.72(a), (b)(1), or (b)(2), an ENS notification is required under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3) (an 8-hour report) for transport of a radioactively contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment. The transport of a contaminated person offsite should be apparent at the time of occurrence. Therefore, if all events are reported properly, it is expected that all reports under 10 CFR 50.72 are as a result of an on-going condition.

Discussion

The phrase “radioactively contaminated” refers to either radioactively contaminated clothing or persons. If there is a potential for contamination (e.g., an initial onsite survey for radioactive contamination is required but has not been completed before transport of the person off site for medical treatment), the licensee should make an ENS notification. See the example.

No LER is required for transporting a radioactively contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment.

Example

Radioactively Contaminated Person Transported Offsite for Medical Treatment A contract worker experienced a back injury lifting a tool while working in a contaminated area and was considered potentially contaminated because his back could not be surveyed. Health physics technicians accompanied the worker to the hospital. The licensee made an ENS notification immediately and an update notification after clothing, but not the individual, was found to be contaminated. The HP technicians returned to the plant with the contaminated protective clothing worn by the worker.

An ENS notification is required because of the transport of a radioactively contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment.
