The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), Systems Engineering and Evaluation (SE&E) Directorate is in the process of implementing a joint program, the Illicit Trafficking Radiation Assessment Program (ITRAP+10), with the European Commission, Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (JRC). The purpose of ITRAP+10 is to conduct an evaluation and comparison of the performance of available radiation detection equipment relevant to nuclear security. The results will provide an independent assessment of available radiation detection equipment on the market which will serve as a reference for regulatory and other authorities to identify equipment and or families of equipment to address their particular needs, and potentially help to ensure common standards on an international level. The overall scope of this project is to assist organizations in effectively detecting radioactive materials nationally and crossing borders illegally, whether importations, exportations, or shipments in transit, and by developing recommendations that describe the technical and functional requirements for the selection of radiation detection equipment so that resources are deployed in an efficient way.
