| ENS 46100 | 16 July 2010 05:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Reort - Thirteen Tritium Exit Signs Lost | The following was received via fax from the NE Division of Radioactive Materials: Six Isolite model 2040-01-12 Tritium exit signs were shipped to Campbell Soup Company at 333 South 3rd Street in Tecumseh, NE in 1993 with 10 Curies of tritium per sign. Six Evenlite model 201 Tritium exit signs were shipped in 1995 with 12.5 Curies of Tritium per sign. One additional sign from Brandhurst, Inc was shipped in 1986. Isolite, Evenlite and Brandhurst did not provide Nebraska with the serial numbers. MBA Poultry bought the facility from Campbell Soup Company in 1998. MBA Poultry sold it to Tecumseh Poultry in 2000. Tecumseh Poultry does not know where the 13 tritium exit signs went.

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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source |
