Title	Lost Tritium Exit Signs
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of a telephonic report: An electrical contractor did not follow disposal instructions and disposed of eight (8) tritium exit signs (approximately 9.5 Ci each) in a dumpster on 12/2/19. The dumpster was removed on 12/4/19. The licensee discovered the error on 12/13/19 when they could locate two of the ten signs planned for removal. 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.
