Event Text
OFFSITE TRANSPORTATION OF CONTAMINATED AND INJURED INDIVIDUAL
"On March 25, 2015, at approximately 1413 CDT, a Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) employee fell approximately 6 feet and sustained a laceration to his forehead and potential other injuries. The individual had been working in the Unit 2 drywell, which is a contaminated area. The individual was able to be removed from his anti-contamination clothing prior to leaving the Radiological Controlled Area (RCA).
"The individual was surveyed by a Radiation Protection (RP) technician and had slight contamination (150 cpm [counts per minute]) on his forehead in the area near the laceration. No survey of his back was performed due to being on a stretcher. At 1457 CDT, the individual was transported to an off-site medical facility. A BFN RP technician accompanied the individual to the hospital. Subsequent survey of the individual at the medical facility determined that no other areas of contamination existed. The individual was successfully decontaminated at the medical facility during initial treatment and all locations have been free released. All contaminated materials have been properly controlled.
"This event is reportable in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xii) any event requiring the transport of a radioactively contaminated person to an offsite medical facility for treatment.
"This event has been entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) in SR# 1004507.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The individual was transported to Decatur Morgan General Hospital in Decatur, Alabama for decontamination and follow-up medical treatment.
