On June 26, 2015, Gregg Young Chevrolet (GL0488) reported a loss of 10 exit signs containing tritium (Evenlite 201) via letter. Each sign originally contained 10.5 curies and current approximate activity is 3.852 curies. Our records show that the registrant possessed these signs in 2013 (latest inventory) however, the registrant assumes these signs were removed from their facility by a tenant sometime in 2008.

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.
