LOST RADIOACTIVE CHEMICAL DETECTOR
On 11/14/2003, an APD-2000 chemical detector with a 10 millicurie Ni-63 source was discovered to be missing from its storage location. The detector was stored with the Fire Department for Westover Air Reserve Base in Massachusetts. It is not known when the detector was last accounted for through inventory and the ongoing search for the last 7 days has provided no results. The search is continuing and an investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the loss and potential corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence.
Licensee is going to contact NRC Region 4 to report loss.

LOST TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS
The State of Nebraska reported that one of their licensees could not account for 12 tritium exit signs during their annual inventory check. The signs were manufactured in 05/87 and 11 contained 25 curries each of tritium and 1 contained 50 curies. All activities were measured at date of manufacture. Remodeling of the store occurred during the period between the previous inventory check and the current inventory. The licensee has contacted the general contractor, but the location of the exit lights is still unknown. They may have ended up in the landfill.
