Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs
Event Description	On 9/11/09 at 1246, the State of California was notified by Boeing that 15 tritium exit signs could not be accounted for in their Long Beach, CA location. The signs were manufactured by Safety Light Corporation and the serial numbers are as follows: 387873, 387874, 387875, 392809, 392810, 392811, 392812, 392813, 392814, 392815, 392816, 392817, 392818, 392819, 392820. The original activity of these signs is typically 11.5 Curies each. 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
