| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs |
| Event Description | {{#Wiki_filter:The state provided the following information via e-mail:
The Department contacted the general licensee because the annual fee for the general license was overdue for two self illuminating signs. The signs were from Best Lighting (Model SLTURW10)(Serial # 166473 and 166474) with 7.03 curies [each] of H3 (in June of 2006). The general licensee hired an individual to remove the signs from the dining room and put them into the storage room in the caf� during July of 2007. The general licensee went to the storage room in the second week of August 2007 to retrieve some stored items. Items were missing and additionally the two exit signs were also missing. The general licensee tried to contact the man who she hired to move the supplies and equipment. She did not find a phone listing. She sent him a letter to the address he had given her and the letter was returned as no such address. Nebraska event number: NE080003. THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks. This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source }}[[Event description::Description::{{#Regex_clear:The state provided the following information via e-mail: The Department contacted the general licensee because the annual fee for the general license was overdue for two self illuminating signs.
