Illicit Trafficking Radiation Assessment Program +10 Phase II, Round Robin Test (ITRAP+10 Phase II, RRT)

This project assisted European Union Member States’ national laboratories to enhance testing capabilities of nuclear security instruments. For instance, these instruments are able to detect radioactive materials movement crossing borders illegally, whether imports, exports, or shipments in transit. To do so, a competition is organized using three radiation detection instruments: 1) Personal Radiation Detectors; 2) Radioisotope Identifiers; and 3) pedestrian Spectroscopic Radiation Portal Monitors. Each laboratory prepared and performed an assessment of the performance of such equipment, with the verification of their compliance using the same standard. The final comparison will be used to verify that the results are equivalent, and if all the tests laid down by the current standards are actually achievable.
