Tritium Exit Signs Disposal
The challenge as we see it
Tritium EXIT signs must not be disposed of as normal trash. Damaged signs could contaminate the area and require expensive cleanup.
To dispose of a sign properly, a general licensee must transfer the sign to a specific licensee—such as a manufacturer, distributor, licensed radioactive waste broker or licensed low level radioactive waste disposal facility.
