| Title | Agreement State Report - Abandoned Tritium Sign |
| Event Description | The following information was received via a letter from Goodwill Industries to the Oregon Department of Health Radiation Protection:
Goodwill Industries of Lane and South Coast Counties found an abandoned exit sign (Tritium) in their inventory. The exit sign was sent to SRB Technologies, INC. at 2580 Landmark Drive, Winston-Salem, NC 27103 (NC Radioactive Materials License# 034-0534-2) for proper disposal. One sign was sent. The sign had been manufactured by lsolite Safety Light Corp. Bloomberg, PA/ Model Number 2040. Serial Number 0412499. Date of Manufacture 12-84. Life rating/ Curies of 10 years 9.8ci. The device was never registered or installed at any of our sites as it was abandoned here. The Oregon Department of Health Radiation Protection will attempt to find the original owner based on the serial number. Since the light has been disposed of properly and reporting is now entered per SA300, Oregon is requesting that this event be marked as complete and request closure of this event. 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.
