| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via telephone:
During an inspection in early March 2024, the licensee could not locate ten tritium exit signs. On May 7, 2024, after searching for the signs, the licensee declared the signs lost. The licensee does not know when the signs were lost. The total activity was 118.7 curies. The licensee notified the NRC Region 4 inspectors. 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.
