| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs |
| Event Description | The following information was received via email from the State of Ohio:
A process was set up to remove all tritium exit signs (over 100) from [General Motors LLC -] Lordstown Complex, all with replacement dates of 8/1/2014. After reviewing records during an annual self-evaluation audit of self-luminous exit signs located at the Lordstown Complex, 2300 Hallock Young Road, Lordstown, Ohio 44481, it has been determined that up to 34 tritium exit signs are potentially missing. An investigation was launched to try to determine the location of these signs. The Lordstown Complex will continue to periodically search for these exit signs, and employees will be instructed to notify the Environmental Engineering department if any exit signs are discovered. There are no self-luminous tritium exit signs left in operation at the Lordstown Complex. Other than the 34 misplaced exit signs, all others have been transported off site to the recycling facility, Isolite Corporation. 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.
