58 -- Technologies used to Interdict Prohibited Radioactive materials

Sandia National Laboratories is developing advanced technologies aimed at detecting and interdicting prohibited radioactive materials. These innovations focus on minimizing false alarms triggered by non-threatening sources such as medical radionuclides and naturally occurring radioactive materials, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of radiological detection systems. Additionally, the technologies are capable of monitoring radiation from moving sources, enhancing the effectiveness of interdiction efforts. Sandia is actively seeking industrial partners, especially those with expertise in radiological detection and identification instrumentation and a proven ability to transition successful prototypes into commercial products. Interested parties are invited to collaborate in further refining and commercializing these technologies by responding by September 23, 2002. Potential partners should demonstrate how their capabilities could contribute to the advancement and market deployment of these detection solutions. Communication for participation is directed to Alane Dulski at Sandia National Laboratories via mail or fax, with detailed information requested regarding the firm’s role and response to the solicitation notice.
