| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Tritium Exit Sign |
| Event Description | The licensee notified the state of California that on 8/5/2011 they had discovered one of its tritium exit signs missing. The licensee is investigating. The sign contained approximately 20 curies of H-3.
Following a licensee review of inventory, the missing tritium exit sign was discovered. Therefore, the event is being retracted. Notified the R4DO (Haire), FSME EO(Chang), ILTAB via email and Mexico via fax. 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 |
