Tritium exit sign remove and replace
Tritium exit signs passed their expiration dates
A self-luminous Tritium exit sign is a non-electrical product that uses radioactive tritium gas to produce light. Specifically, the signs contain light sources that consist of glass tubes, internally coated with phosphor, and filled with tritium gas. Tritium (H-3) is an isotope of hydrogen that emits low-energy beta radiation in the form of electrons. These electrons excite or "charge" the phosphor, causing the glass tubes to continuously emit visible light. A Tritium self-luminous exit sign is a generally licensed (GL) device because it contains radioactive material initially amounting to approximately 25 curies of tritium per sign. A typical tritium exit sign is pictured to the left.
How do I know if I have tritium exit signs in my facility?
Tritium Exit signs are frequently self-contained and encased in a plastic box with small glass tubes visible through the clear front sign face. The signs "boxes" usually slip into a plastic wall-mount bracket and then have clear plastic cover that slips over the mounted sign frame. There are required decals on the back of the signs indicating radioactivity, individual serial numbers and lifespan of the sign in years.
Are the signs dangerous.
Although the signs are technically radioactive, the tritium gas registers very low radiation levels that are not generally harmful to humans as long as the signs remain intact and undamaged. Since signs contain long half-life radiation, it is against the law to dispose of these types of signs with your normal trash. If not disposed of properly, the tritium gas is released as a contaminant and is not good for the environment.
How do you properly dispose of expired tritium signs?
Expired tritium exit sign must be disposed of and recycled under the jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Sign inventories and additional information must be submitted to the NRC for permission to dispose of expired signs as a way of keeping track of how these potentially environmentally dangerous signs are disposed of. i-Luminate offers turn-key tritium sign recycling programs to fit any size program or budget. Our programs feature complete removal and disposal of signs and replacement with non-electrified photoluminescent signs.
Do I need to run new wires to power the new signs?
One major obstacle to removing and replacing tritium exit signs is the realization that you will need to hire an electrician to run wires to all of the exit sign locations if you intend to install electrified signs. This can be a huge expense on top of the high disposal costs for the expired tritium signs be replaced. Photoluminescent Exit Sign options do not require electricity and no costly wiring is required. Photoluminescent signs offer the perfect solution for the removal and replacement of tritium exit signs. Safe, Long life cycle. Non-Radioactive.
