| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Arizona via email:
This First Notice constitutes EARLY notice of events of POSSIBLE safety or public interest significance. The information is as initially received WITHOUT verification or evaluation, and is basically all that is known by the Agency [Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency] Staff at this time. During an inspection of the licensee on July 13, 2017, an inspector found one portable gauge where the radiation source exposure shutter would not close when moved to the closed position. The inspector's dose measurement at contact with the device was approximately 100 mR/hr. The gauge is a Troxler model 3430, Serial Number 30302, containing 8 milliCuries of Cesium-137 and 40 milliCuries of Americium-241. The licensee has contacted a repair company to fix the gauge as soon as possible. The Agency is investigating the event. The Governor's office and U.S. NRC are being notified of this event.
