AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS
The following was received via email:
"Lost/Abandoned Tritium Exit Signs, Manufacturer - Best Lighting Products Inc. (Forever Lite), Model #SXLTU1GB10, Serial # 206112 to 206140 (29 signs), 7.09 Ci of H-3 (tritium) per sign. Date shipped 9-3-2008.
"The property [at 1818 Spring Water Point, Colorado Springs, CO] was received through reorganization and has now been assigned to a trustee. Twenty nine exit signs were directed for use by Best Lighting Products at the location listed. Annual general license notifications were sent to SRKO Family LTD Partnership from 2009 thru 2014 with no response. County records provided contact information regarding receivership and further review provided New Crossings Inc. as a contact. The property was inspected by the trustee and no exit signs were located. There were approximately 60 subcontractors on the site at the time the exit signs may have arrived. It is unknown what occurred with them.
"In September of 2008 Best Lighting Products Inc. (Forever Lite) shipped 29 exit signs to be installed at 1818 Spring Water Point, Colorado Springs, CO. The site was going to be a commercial building and construction had started. According to the trustee, approximately 60 subcontractors/creditors were involved with the owner when they walked away from the project. It is unknown what occurred with the exit signs. No information has been discovered through years of trying to contact the SRKO Family Partnership LLC. The trustee has provided a statement explaining tritium exit signs will never be used in any project they work on. Should they discover any inadvertently they will immediately contact [The Colorado Department of Public Health] for further guidance."
Event Report ID No.: CO160010 / CO16-I16-17
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.
