Customs officers can use several instruments to detect, assess and prevent
radiation-related threats. The most sensitive piece of equipment at their disposal is
the radiation portal monitor (RPM).
It consists of two pillars equipped with high-efficiency sensors. When a person, a
container or a vehicle passes through it, it detects any radiation levels that
significantly exceed the measured background level.
