The following information was received by … The following information was received by email:</br>Event Description: A specific licensee reported the loss (potential theft) of two generally licensed tritium (H-3) exit signs. The signs had been removed from installation and are missing from the storage location. The licensee became aware of the missing material on 1/14/2015, however, it is possible the material was missing for approximately one month. The devices were last seen by licensee staff in mid-December 2014. Specific details about the device model and activity have not yet been provided, potentially up to 15 Ci H-3 per device. An NJDEP (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) inspector will visit the site to investigate the incident.</br>New Jersey Event: #C545467</br>* * * UPDATE FROM JAMES MCCULLOUGH TO JEFF HERRERA ON 2/9/15 AT 1638 EST * * *</br>The following update was received from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection via email:</br>The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) reported the loss or possible theft of two radioluminescent exit signs. The signs had been removed from installation and were placed into storage. The signs were discovered to be missing from the storage location on 1/14/2015. However, TCNJ stated that it was possible the signs had been missing for approximately one month. The signs were last seen by TCNJ in mid-December 2014. Each sign contained approximately 137 GBq (3.7 Ci) of H-3. A New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection inspector visited the site on 1/21/2015 and determined the most likely scenario was accidental disposal. The licensee submitted a full report in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:28-6.1 (10 CFR 20.2201). The missing signs were not located. Although there was no evidence of contamination, the licensee estimated a dose of 8.5 mrem if the signs had been broken. </br>NJDEP tracked the event as Incident # C545467 and Investigation #: 507375-INV15001.</br>Corrective Actions: Commitment to increased security should they be in possession of other sources.
