GE to build mobile nuclear threat detection system
GE Global Research recently was awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a working prototype of a mobile Standoff Radiation Imaging System. The funding is part of a larger program to advance technologies that allow law enforcement to better protect the public against nuclear threats.
The prototype mobile imaging system will be able to work from a moving vehicle to identify radioactive sources from longer distances with greater specificity, pinpointing even the weakest of signals to almost to an exact location.
Even more amazing is that to make this project work, GE researchers will be adapting nuclear medicine imaging technology from the GE Healthcare business. That means that the same imaging technology doctors use today for the detection of cancers will be used in the future to sniff out nuclear threats.
