| Title | Offsite Notification - Non-Work Related On-Site Fatality |
| Event Description | At 0742 PDT on March 12, 2012, a non-work related on-site fatality occurred at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The fatality was not related to the health and safety of the public or on-site personnel. Specifically, a contractor for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) was found in the Engineering Offices before work hours with no pulse or life signs. The individual was promptly attended to by Diablo Canyon Industrial Fire Officers and a transfer to a local hospital by ambulance was completed. The individual was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The individual was outside of the Radiological Controlled Area and no radioactive material or contamination was involved . The work location was outside of the Protected Area. PG&E has not observed any heightened public, media, or government concern as a result of the fatality. Because the fatality is unrelated to Diablo Canyon Power Plant industrial or radiological health and safety, no news release is planned. Because the fatality was not work-related, nor the result of an accident, no notification to other government agencies was made at the time. However, PG&E may make a notification to the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration due to a cardiac arrest on-site. Thus this ENS notification is in response to a notification to another government agency in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi). The deceased person worked for Enercon Services. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
