The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or Commission) is issuing this
Demand for Information because it is
our understanding that you possess
radioactive material in the form of
tritium in exit signs. Because you
possess radioactive material in this
form, you hold what is referred to as a
‘‘general license’’ to possess such
material. In this case, your general
license has been issued by the NRC
pursuant to section 31.5 in Part 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
31.5). This general license authorizes
you, the licensee, to receive, possess,
use, or transfer, in accordance with the
provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d)
of 10 CFR 31.5, radioactive material
contained in devices designed and
manufactured for the purpose of
producing light.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day
of January 2009.

On December 7, 2006, NRC issued
Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2006–
25, ‘‘Requirements for the Distribution
and Possession of Tritium Exit Signs
and the Requirements in 10 CFR 31.5
and 32.51a.’’ This RIS was issued in part
to remind general licensees of the
requirements in 10 CFR 31.5 regarding
transfer and disposal of tritium exit
signs. It was NRC’s intent that issuance
of this RIS would minimize the chances
of improper disposal of tritium exit
signs.
Despite the publication of the RIS in
2006, NRC has reason to believe that
certain general licensees may lack
awareness of their responsibility to
account for and properly dispose of
tritium exit signs. Therefore, the NRC
needs further information to determine
whether we can have reasonable
assurance that general licensees are
complying with NRC regulations
applying to the possession, transfer, and
disposal of tritium exit signs.

Accordingly, pursuant to sections
161c, 161o, 182 and 186 of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and
the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR
2.204 and 10 CFR 31.5, the NRC seeks
information in order to determine
whether additional regulatory action
should be taken to ensure compliance
with NRC requirements. Within 60 days
of the date of this Demand for
Information, you must submit a written
answer to the Director, Office of Federal
and State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555–0001. Your answer must be
submitted under oath or affirmation,
and it must provide the following
information:
A. Explain how you ensure
compliance with the NRC requirements
applying to the possession, transfer, and
disposal of tritium exit signs you have
acquired. Identify and provide contact
information for the individual you have
appointed who is responsible for
ensuring day-to-day compliance with
these requirements.
B. State the number of tritium exit
signs you currently possess and the
number of signs that, according to your
records, should be in your possession.
C. Explain the reasons for any
discrepancy between the number of
tritium exit signs you currently possess
and the number of signs that should be
in your possession.
D. Describe any actions you have
taken, or plan to take, to locate tritium
exit signs that should be, but are not, in
your possession.
E. Describe any actions you have
taken, or plan to take, to prevent future
losses of tritium exit signs.
After reviewing your response, the
NRC will determine whether further
action is necessary to ensure
compliance with regulatory
requirements.
The Director, Office of Federal and
State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs, may, in writing,
relax or rescind any of the above
conditions upon demonstration by the
Licensee of good cause, such as a
particularly large number of signs
spread over multiple locations. If you
believe you cannot report the results
within the 60-day deadline, you may
forward a request to extend the
deadline. Extensions will be granted if
you can reasonably demonstrate an
inability to meet the deadline.
Additionally, any other requirement can
be relaxed or rescinded, as long as you
can reasonably demonstrate why that
requirement should be relaxed or
