Title	Process Gauge Shutter Will Not Close
Event Description	The shutter on a process gauge used to measure iron ore density was discovered to be stuck open on 08/09/11 during a routine 6-month check. The gauge is in a remote location which is not easily accessible by personnel. The licensee has procedurally restricted access to the site and stated that it planned to have the gauge repaired when other process equipment in the vicinity of the gauge required maintenance or repair. During a recent NRC Regional inspection, the inspector became aware of this condition. The licensee was informed the event should have been reported to the NRC Operations Center when it was discovered. The gauge in question is a Kay Ray with a 200 millicurie Cs-137 source.
