At approximately 1422 EDT on 9/30/2013, a craft contractor worker was transported to an off-site medical facility due a work-related injury. The injured individual was in a radiologically controlled area when the injury occurred. The injured was partially surveyed by a Health Physics technician in their anti-contamination clothing prior to leaving the site and no radioactive contamination was detected. The injured individual was then transported by ambulance accompanied by a Health Physics technician to the local hospital for medical treatment.
Follow up surveys determined that no contamination was detected on the individual or materials transported. All materials are being recovered and returned to the site.
This notification is being made under the 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xii) reporting requirements, since a complete survey of the injured individual was unable to be made and he was considered to be potentially contaminated prior to being transported off-site.
The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
