The security community such as customs and national
border police as well as local law enforcement units
and emergency response teams are facing growing and
more diverse tasks like the identication of radiological
threats by terrorists or verication of transports against
the illegal shipment of nuclear materials.
Often exibility of response without compromising the
high standards of measurement performance is the
order of the day.
FEATURES...
The RADOS DnD-Portal™ is based on a unique
deployment concept paired with proven, world-class
pedestrian and vehicle monitor technology as evident
in the RADOS CheckPoint:Gate™ family of monitors.
It is presented as a transportable and scalable
yet robust unit to support a variety of radiological
scenarios ranging from terrorist threat, post event
screening to the monitoring of entry/exit points of
nuclear facilities.
It features:
•Fast in-the-eld deployment
•High radiological measurement performance
•Decontaminable surfaces throughout
•Assembly in less than three hours (by four people)
including local support and transport tools
•Three standard deployment congurations
Mirion Technologies (RADOS) GmbH and its partners
in the security community have developed the
Deploy&Detect concept (DnD) to support these
requirements.
The portable monitor DnD-Portal™ by Mirion
Technologies (RADOS) GmbH allows monitoring and
inspection of vehicles and persons in a large variety
of settings such as ports, airports, border posts and
almost any event location like stadiums or concert halls.
The RADOS DnD-Portal™ is transported in a dedicated
container and deployed in short time.
The DnD-Portal™ is sizeable in different standard
models, depending on passageway and object height
with six detectors arranged around the object to be
measured.
•DnD-Portal™ for personnel with 1000 mm passageway
•DnD-Portal™ for cars with 2000 mm passageway
•DnD-Portal™ for trucks with 3000 mm passageway

Introducing the RADOS DnD-Portal™
The RADOS DnD-Portal™ combines the advances
in plastic- detector technology and modular design
to a portal measurement station built to t the fast
changing conditions of projects typical for emergency
response or nuclear decommissioning.
Once the dedicated transport container has arrived on
site, it is a matter of four people and three hours work
to assemble the monitor on any suitable solid and
plane surface. Special quick ttings designed to be
fastened without the need of special tools and small
man-handleable modules support this task.
Quick t electrical connections are wired up in a matter
of minutes. Once deployed and connected, the unit
can be powered up and the operator is guided by the
graphical user interface of the RADOS monitor software
to congure the monitor. The software is based on
the most robust, industrial standard operating system
QNX.
The monitor software is based on the proven software
suite as used in other CheckPoint:Gate™ monitors with
extensive analysis capabilities for the expert operator
yet simple operation of the monitor by everyday users.
ARRIVE
Two Step - quick ttings
DEPLOY
The value in the RADOS DnD-Portal™ is in the
modular nature of the unit, which can be transported
from site to site with minimal effort and which allow
the scaling of the monitor from a simple personnel
size gate up to truck size drive-through gate. One
dedicated container carries all modules and can be
moved by fork lift or truck.
Easy-to-use deploy crane
DETECT
Response to radiological threats should be swift, scalable and powerful -
that’s why we came up with the RADOS DnD-Portal™.
