Title	Agreement State Involving a Lost Tritium Exit Sign
Event Description	The following information was received from the State of North Carolina via fax: Brief Description of Incident: General License: 011-2650-0G, was issued on August 2, 2010 to HB Haynes for one Exit Light, Serial Number: 421564, from Safety Light. Model Number: SLX-60 for 7.5 Curies of H-3 (Tritium), Date Shipped; 7-20-2007. In August 2007, Haynes Electric installed the sign at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC in the Stairwell at the new Dogwood Building and completed [work at] the temporary site in the fall at 2009. The General License was issued on August 2, 2010 and [the President of Haynes Electric] called to confirm that they had gone back to the site and could not locate the sign. [The] RSO for Mission Memorial Hospital was contacted and confirmed the sign was lost and that they did not possess any radioactive material with exit signs. Also, on December 6, 2010 [the representative] with Safety Light also listed as Isolite confirmed that they had not received the light. The light was considered lost on December 6, 2010 and the NRC was notified. NC Incident No.: 10-51 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. 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
