| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Tritium Exit Signs |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the State of New Jersey via facsimile:
TCNJ [The College of New Jersey] reported the loss of up to 63 radioluminescent exit signs. The signs had been removed from a building slated for demolition and were stored until proper disposal could be arranged. Each Safety Light corporation sign contained between 278 and 851 GBq of H-3. TCNJ was not sure of the actual total of signs possessed by them. They believe that a box containing up to 51 signs was accidentally picked up on 1/8/14 by a contractor removing electronic waste. New Jersey Incident Number: 04-22-14 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.
