On July 9, 2010, while working under reciprocity to package and ship 70 H-3 [Tritium] exit signs for Canyons School District, Philotechnics, Ltd. discovered a Tritium exit sign with broken tubes. The broken sign was manufactured in November, 1992 by Safety Sign Technologies and contained 20 Ci of H-3 ( Model #13200, S/N 550047). It is unknown when or how the sign was broken.
