L-3 Security & Detection Systems: secondary inspection system for detecting shielded nuclear material. L-3 Security & Detection Systems has been awarded a contract by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) to develop a secondary inspection system to clear or detect nuclear material in containers that do not pass primary inspection.
The contract, which was awarded under the Shielded Nuclear Alarm Resolution (SNAR) program, has a total value estimated at US-$8.5 million.
Using the Company’s material discrimination expertise and detection algorithms, this relocatable system will identify isotopes of nuclear material.
This enables the system to distinguish between normal cargo materials and real threats, ensuring that containers with well-shielded and well-masked threats are not cleared for acceptance.
