During a site-wide inventory reconciliation, the licensee determined that 26 [of the] licensee's tritium exit signs could not be located. While a comprehensive search was conducted, it was ultimately determined that the signs may have been misplaced or removed during prior renovation or decommissioning activities. The signs were declared missing on November 20, 2025. The site is actively engaged in removing all tritium exit signs that remain on-site through a licensed waste broker. They will be replaced with non-radioactive signs.
