Westinghouse Report to Regulators

Categories: Columbia Community

Early Sunday morning (April 13, 2025), an operator was performing a filter change out activity inside the chemical manufacturing area. After replacing the filter, the operator performed a pressure check of the filter housing, and a very small amount of uranyl nitrate solution leaked from the gasket onto the operator’s coveralls in the upper left arm area. The area of exposure was approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. The incident commander and site medical personnel responded appropriately, and out of an abundance of caution, sent the employee to an offsite medical facility for evaluation. Per procedure, a Health Physics (HP) technician accompanied the employee to assure there was no spread of potential contamination during care for the employee. After evaluation, the employee was released without further treatment. All materials associated with the transport were collected and returned to the CFFF for disposal.
