The following is a summary of information … The following is a summary of information provided by the Nevada Radiation Control Program (RCP) via email and phone:</br>On January 9, 2026, RCP was informed of the improper disposal of a large number of tritium exit signs. The signs were discovered in a storage unit.</br>The signs were improperly disposed of in the first quarter of 2015 by the homeowner's association (HOA) for a large condominium building. The HOA did not follow the general license requirements and contracted with non-licensed individuals for disposal of the signs. Neither the California-based HOA company nor the Arizona-based contractor had radioactive material licenses for handling and disposal of exit signs.</br>RCP investigation into the incident is ongoing.</br>Nevada item number: NV260002</br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>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.
