AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST EXIT SIGNS
The following is a summary of information provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment via email:
Eight tritium exit signs were determined to be lost by the licensee.
Manufacturer: Safety Light Corp.
Number of signs: 2
Model: 2040
Activity = 11.5 Ci each, H-3
Manufacturer: Best Lighting Products
Number of signs: 6
Model: SLXTU1GB10
Activity: 7.03 Ci each, H-3
Notifications: Colorado Regulations Section 4.51.1.1 (10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(i))
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.
