| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Tritium Exit Sign |
| Event Description | The following was received from the State of Maine via fax:
An emergency exit sign was lost. A portion of the Texas Instruments facility at 5 Foden Road in South Portland, Maine, where emergency exit signs are in use, was in the process of being renovated by a construction contractor. The contractor removed the sign from the wall unaware that this exit sign was not an electric exit sign. The sign was removed and its location has not been identified. Event Report ID No. ME-14-0001 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.
