Event Description	EN Revision Imported Date : 9/1/2020 AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST SHIPMENT OF TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS The following was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency) via email: On August 28, 2020, the Agency was contacted by an individual to notify it that they had shipped seven Forever Lite tritium exit signs to a manufacturer in May of 2020 and they have been informed by the transportation company that they do not know where the signs are. The signs are Forever Lite signs, each containing 7.03 curies (original activity) of tritium, manufactured in May 2011. The package was last scanned in Fort Worth, Texas, in May of 2020. The shipper stated that they were told on May 19, 2020 it was to be delivered in Canada. The next update when they followed up they were advised the package was lost and they were trying to locate the shipment and opened a claim. The location where the signs were lost is unknown at this time; therefore, the Agency is making this report for your information. The Agency has requested additional information and clarifications from the shipper. Additional information will be provided as it is received. Texas Incident #: I - 9789 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.

The transportation company's radiation safety officer (RSO) was contacted by the Agency and the RSO stated they do not store the tracking records of shipments in their computer system for very long, therefore they would not be able to review the tracking information for this shipment. The Agency will provide additional information as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Notified R4DO (Deese), NMSS Events Notification, ILTAB, CNSC (Canada), and CNSNS (Mexico) via email.
