'Pursuant to 10A NCAC 15.0309, Global Nuclear Fuel Americas, LLC (GNF-A) is providing this report for discovery of a damaged self illuminated exit sign in the Fuel Manufacturing Operations (FMO) building. On February 26, 2018, it was discovered that one tube out of the twelve originally installed tubes in a generally licensed exit sign was damaged. The sign was in storage and not being used at the time and there was no significant exposure as a result of the event. The sign is believed to be a model number 101 or 201, originally containing a maximum of 25 Ci of tritium manufactured and distributed by: Evenlite, Inc., 220 VFW Avenue.,Grasonville, MD 21638. Arrangements were made to properly dispose of the sign. It was shipped offsite for recovery or disposal on March 23, 2018 to SRB Technologies (NC Radioactive Material License 034-0534-2).' This report to NRC is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 70 Appendix A (c) - Concurrent Reports (... notifications to other government agencies has been or will be made, shall be reported to the NRC Operations Center concurrent to the news release or other notification.) The Licensee has notified NRC Region 2. 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.
