Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs
Event Description	The following information was received via telephone: On or about August 15, 2011, Lighting Systems, Inc. shipped three tritium exit signs to a customer via UPS. Upon delivery, the customer refused receipt of the signs. UPS retained possession of the signs. UPS has not returned the signs to Lighting Systems, Inc. and has been unable to locate the signs. Each sign contained 7.5 Curies of tritium. Model number: SLX-60. Serial numbers: 11-14985, 11-14986, and 11-14987. 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
