A Department of Energy subcontractor who was injured while clearing trees on Aug. 11 at the Oak Ridge Site in Tennessee has died, an agency spokesperson confirmed Monday evening.
The DOE “offers its condolences to the deceased’s family and colleagues,” the spokesperson for DOE’s Office of Science field site at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory said via email.
The spokesperson declined to say when the person actually died, the victim’s age or what subcontractor the individual worked for.
“Department officials are reviewing the incident and will provide more information when available,” the spokesperson said in the email. DOE’s Office of Environmental Management last week referred Exchange Monitor’s inquiry to the DOE Office of Science at Oak Ridge.
