Title	Potentially Damaged Range Indicator Containing 3.2 Curies Tritium
Event Description	The U.S. Army Life Cycle Command was informed by the Combined Support Maintenance Shop in Richmond, Virginia that a range indicator containing 4 sources of 0.8 Curies each of Tritium may be damaged. Apparently, the range indicators appear cracked and are not illuminating properly. The range indicator is locked inside a secured area with no access allowed. The U.S. Army is waiting for results of swipe surveys to determine if there is an actual spread of contamination. * * RETRACTION FROM THOMAS GIZICKI TO JOE O'HARA AT 1302 EST ON 1/19/12 * * * The licensee is retracting the event based upon swipe survey results being less than the lower limit of detectability. There was no spread of contamination and the device will be disposed of in the future. The licensee notified Bill Lin (Region 3). Notified R3DO(Peterson), R1DO(Bellamy) and FSME(McIntosh).
