On 11/22/24, an exit sign containing tritium was discovered missing from an Ikea warehouse located in San Diego. Site personnel were not sure when it went missing. A search of the facility and questioning of warehouse employees did not locate the missing sign. Information on the exit sign: Make and Model: SRB Technologies, Betalux-E Series, Model 171. NC License No.: 034-0534-2. Maximum Tritium activity: 21.6 Ci, 799.2 GBq. California 5010 Number: 112524 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.
