| Title | Seven Tritium Exit Signs Lost |
| Event Description | Luzenac America Inc. purchased their property from Cypress Minerals Corporation in February 1988. Seven Tritium exit signs were included in the transfer. However, these exit signs were not inventoried nor were their locations documented. These signs cannot be located and have been declared missing.
Sign Manufacturer: Self Powered Lighting Model: 710 Activity: 25 Ci each at the time of manufacture 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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf 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 |
