The covert movement of special nuclear material or weapons into populated areas represents possibly the greatest threat to the security of our world. Radionuclide detection and identification systems are required to effectively detect or deter this threat by recognizing the presence or movement of radioactive material across borders, into government buildings, at large public gatherings or events and much more. Stride™ Detection Units and Systems were designed for this very purpose. They can be openly or covertly installed in building entrances, at airports, bus or train stations, above or beside luggage or freight conveyer belts, by stadium entrances, ship ports and many more similar locations of potential risk.
Depending on the amount of radioactive material present, the pace of the transporter, and the detection unit chosen, radionuclides can be detected and properly identified in a few seconds. The type of material is classified as medical, industrial, naturally occurring (NORM) or special nuclear material (SNM), as well as whether it is innocent, suspicious or threatening. In addition, the specific isotope is identified and security personnel are alerted via visible or audible annunciators.
