| ENS 53345 | 19 April 2018 05:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs | The following report was received from the Nebraska Department of Health via email: Eagle Distributing of Norfolk, LLC sold their building which contained tritium exit signs to Our Savior Lutheran Church on October 17, 2017. Eagle Distributing did not inform Our Savior Lutheran Church of the General License (GL) responsibility until March of 2018 when the Annual Renewal for GL0595 came overdue. After Our Savior Lutheran Church was informed of the exit signs and their GL responsibility, Our Savior Lutheran Church conducted a search to locate the signs within the building resulting in 3 missing signs. They have no information as to what could have happened or specific dates of their removal. NE Item Number: NE180003 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.
