| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Sign |
| Event Description | The following was received from the state of Nebraska via email and phone:
Approximately April 2019, a tritium exit sign was thrown away with construction debris while a contractor was cleaning up to remodel from catastrophic flooding in Pender, Nebraska. The sign was discovered missing when inventory was taken 7/17/2020. Device Name: RADIOLUMINESCENT SIGN Manufacturer: Best Lighting Model Number: SLTURW10 Serial Number: 165713 Radionuclide: H-3 Activity: 7.03 Ci (260.11 GBq) Nebraska Incident Report No.: NE200005 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.
