SUBJECT:

REPORT OF LOST TRITlUM EXIT SIGNS

Dear Mr. Moeslein:

i Thank you for your July 22,1999 letter notifying NRC Region lll of the loss of the four tritium l (hydrogen-3 gas) filled exit signs. These signs, three-Model 700C10 (Serial No. 8444,8424, P146) and a Model 700C20 (Serial No. 4932) were manufactured by Self-Powered Lighting Inc.

Each exit sign contained nominally 7.6 curies (281 GBq) of tritium gas as of July 19,1999. You

- indicated that on or about July 1999, these exit signs were discovered missing. We understand {

that because your interviews with employees and search efforts to recover these missing j l general licensed devices proved unsuccessful, you concluded that the most likely explanation is

! that these exit signs were stolen. We have reviewed your letter and your corrective actions to

prevent recurrence and have no further questions at this time.

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be l placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

l We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this matter.

Sincerely, l

/s/ G.C. Wright l
