[ RadSafe ] California port first to scan cargo for radia

[Vernig, Peter G.]

Seems like there was also an article posted a year or more ago about the
detectors for containerized cargo going into the Port of New Jersey.

Any opinions in this e-mail are solely those of the author, and are not

Affairs, or the US Government.

I guess no one noticed the radiation detection equipment that has been
deployed by CBP for years. Like the PRDs every CBP Officer wears, the RIIDs
assigned to each port, the mobile radiation scanning trucks, and the rad
detection systems on some baggage x-ray systems. This is just the first
seaport to have portal monitors set up and working. We've had portals at
land crossings for years.
