AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST TRITIUM EXIT SIGN
The following information was received via e-mail:
"Detail: Chateau Residence Club had a fire inspection that required the removal of two expired tritium exit signs. Encore Electric was contracted to remove the signs approximately around 10-13-16. According to Encore, the staff person performing the work tossed the exit signs in the trash. Encore Electric was informed by CDPHE [Colorado, Department of Public Health and Environment]/General License Coordinator to complete a corrective action to include tracking to disposal of all tritium exit signs, writing a report explaining their safety, handling and disposal of radioactive tritium signs. Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiation Control were provided to Encore Electric as guidance to complete the corrective action.
"Manufacturer: Best Lighting Products aka Forever Light.,
Model Number: SLXYU1BB10,
Serial Numbers: 215656 & 215657,
Isotope: H-3,
Activity: 7.09 Ci
"Event Description: Due to the continuous lack of information from manufacturing companies reaching the responsible parties at the destination where exit signs are to be installed; companies have no understanding of the regulations for products containing tritium. The General License Coordinator at CDPHE provided the Chateau Residence Club management a copy of the Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiation Control and the NRC guidelines K & L. The Chateau Residence Club uses sub contractors for services like fire safety and lighting. Encore Electric was unaware of the regulations for Tritium Exit Signs."
Event Report ID No.: CO17-0001
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.
