THREE BROKEN TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS

The Walmart in Enid, Oklahoma performed an inventory of their generally licensed tritium, exit signs and confirmed that three were broken. Walmart suspects that the signs have been broken since sometime in 2003. On May 1, 2008, contractors performed surveys of the area. One wipe was high enough to require remediation (82,000 dpm). The broken exit signs were removed on May 2, 2008.
