Equipment spots nuclear materials in security test

March 7, 2008

“Equipment in two trailers sniffed out nuclear materials today on cars and trucks boarding the Bolivar Ferry in the first field test of the device in a maritime setting, a Homeland Security official said.

The transportable radiation monitoring system, or TRMS, began screening cars entering the ferry from Galveston Island for the first full-day of an eight-day trial, said Cpt. Jim Bamberger, Transportation Safety Agency branch chief.” (Houston Chronicle)
