Title	Three Individuals Sent to Hospital Due to Concerns After Completion of Maintenance Work
Event Description	On October 14, 2019, out of an abundance of caution, three employees were sent to the hospital after reporting an unusual taste in their mouths following completion of maintenance work on the hydrofluoric acid (HF) process equipment. The employees stayed at the hospital overnight for observation and were released today with no work restrictions. Medical treatment was provided to one employee, therefore requiring a report to South Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration (SC OSHA) on October 15, 2019. The area around the equipment was monitored for airborne concentration levels of HF with no readings approaching any safety limits in the immediate or adjoining areas. Access to the area is controlled, and the equipment remains shutdown pending completion of maintenance activities and appropriate testing before return to operation. There were no health or safety consequences to the public or the environment, and there was no radioactive material involved. This report has been entered into the facility Corrective Action Program (CAP). The licensee notified the NRC Region II office (McCurry).
