Title	Agreement State Report - Broken Tritium Signs
Event Description	The State provided the following information via email: On February 12, 2008, the maintenance engineer from the Residence Inn in Corona, CA contacted RHB headquarters and left a message regarding two broken tritium exit signs. The message was not referred to the South RM ICE office until February 21, 2008. On February 21, 2008, [the State] dispatched an inspector to assess the situation, and ensure the signs are isolated and contained, until disposal can be arranged. The general licensee will also be requested to obtain a health physics consultant to assess potential exposures. CA NMED # 022108 * * UPDATE FROM DONELLE KRAJEWSKI TO JOE O'HARA VIA E-MAIL AT 1704 ON 02/21/08 * * * There were 2 tritium exit signs whose plexi-glass fronts were cracked. The H-3 tubes do appear to be ruptured since the letters are not completely and evenly lighted when you view the signs in a darkened room. Each exit sign contained 0.426 TBq (11.5 Curies) H-3. Manufacturer - Shield Source Inc, Petersbourgh, Canada, Model 101, Distributed by - Safety Light Corp, Bloomsburg, PA 17815. The serial numbers are #U9453 and T7844. Wipes were taken from the face of the signs and in the surrounding area, but it will be a couple of weeks before we get the results. The signs were individually packaged in plastic and were placed in a 5 gallon pail which will remain in a secure area until disposal by an authorized waste broker. Notified R4DO (Howell, L.) and FSME (Suber).
