| Event Description | The following was received from the State of Utah via email:
On July 19, 2016, the licensee [University of Utah] was performing a 6-month inventory of the H-3 exit signs, when the individual performing the inventory noticed that one of the signs was missing. The licensee left a message with the University's facilities management office to see if the sign was removed by them. On August 4, 2016, the licensee was informed by the [facilities] management group that they had not removed the sign. The licensee then determined that the sign was missing and presumed stolen. The licensee notified the DWMRC [Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control] of the missing sign on August 9, 2016. The licensee will continue to investigate the incident, and will submit a written report to the DWMRC. The DWMRC will possibly perform an investigation on August 10, 2016.
