Title	Nebraska Agreement State Report - Missing Tritium Exit Sign
Event Description	Fagen Inc. built the bioenergy facility in Ord, NE. Fagen Inc. purchased a number of tritium exit signs for the facility. After the facility was built, Fagan Inc. turned the facility over to VeraSun. VeraSun did an inventory [on 01/03/08] of the signs in the facility and discovered a missing sign (SRB Technologies, Model BX-20BK, Serial #C056713) [contains 20 curies of tritium]. VeraSun contacted Fagen Inc. concerning the missing exit sign. Fagen contacted the supplier and other sites that Fagen had done work at. They have not been able to locate the sign. Fagen has discontinued using tritium exit signs in facilities they construct. NE Item Number: NE080007 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
