LOS ANGELES, 8 Aug. 2008. Universal Detection Technology, a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies, has fulfilled a contract to provide radiation detection equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The devices are capable of detecting gamma and neutron radiation, are designed to provide portal protection, and have been delivered to Beijing ahead of the Olympic Games.

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) is responsible for all aspects of security for the Olympics. BOCOG plans to deploy 80,000 security personnel for the Olympics. According to Liu Shaowu, the BOCOG security department director, "BOCOG has finished more than 52 schemes and more than 500 specific plans for security, transportation, fire-fighting, anti-terrorism and VIP protection. Beijing will host safe Games."

UNDT has supplied equipment that will be used for search and identification of gamma and neutron radioactive materials. The instruments feature the capability to identify the detected isotopes and characterize categories from medical, industrial, natural occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and special nuclear materials (SNM). Because of their high sensitivity, they can be used to verify any alarm triggered by a fix-installed monitor or by a radiation pager, to locate sources, measure radiation levels, and even to identify the detected isotope. The instruments are ideally suited for First Responders, Border Control, Customs inspectors, site security in critical infrastructures, and for all missions related to the control of nuclear materials.
