DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is responsible for addressing the threat of nuclear smuggling. Radiation detection portal monitors are key elements in the nation's defenses against such threats. DNDO has sponsored testing to develop new monitors, known as advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) monitors, to replace radiation detection equipment now being used. ASPs offer improvements over current portal monitors, particularly the potential to identify as well as detect radioactive material and thereby to reduce both the risk of missed threats and the rate of innocent alarms. This testimony addresses: (1) findings on DNDO's latest round of ASP testing; and (2) lessons from ASP testing that can be applied to other technology invest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) is testing new advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) radiation detection monitors. ASPs are expected to reduce both the risk of missed threats and the rate of innocent alarms, which are considered to be limitations of radiation detection equipment currently used at U.S. ports of entry. Congress has required that the Sec. of DHS certify that ASPs provide a significant increase in operational effectiveness before obligating funds for procurement. This report is a review of: (1) the degree to which DHS's criteria for a significant increase in operational effectiveness address the limitations of existing radiation detection equipment; (2) the rigor of ASP testing and preliminary test results; and (3) the ASP test schedule.

DNDO has sponsored testing to develop new monitors, known as advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) monitors, to replace radiation detection equipment now being used at ports of entry. DNDO expects that ASPs may offer improvements over current-generation portal monitors. This testimony: (1) discusses the principal findings and recommendations from a May 2009 report on ASP testing; and (2) updates those findings based on info. from DNDO officials on the results of testing conducted since the report¿s issuance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In 2005, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was established to enhance and coordinate fed., state, and local efforts to combat nuclear smuggling domestically and abroad. DNDO was directed to develop, in coordination with the DoD, DoE, and the State Dept., an enhanced global nuclear detection architecture -- an integrated system of radiation detection equipment and interdiction activities. This testimony provides preliminary observations addressing: (1) the status of DNDO¿s efforts to develop a global nuclear detection architecture; (2) the challenges DNDO and other fed. agencies face in implementing the architecture; and (3) the costs of the programs that constitute the architecture. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In April 2005, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was established to enhance and coordinate fed., state, and local efforts to combat nuclear smuggling domestically and overseas. DNDO was directed to develop, in coordination with the depts. of DoD, DoE, and State, a global strategy for nuclear detection -- a system of radiation detection equipment and interdiction activities domestically and abroad. This report examines: (1) DNDO's progress in developing programs to address critical gaps in preventing nuclear smuggling domestically; (2) DNDO's role in supporting other agencies' efforts to combat nuclear smuggling overseas; and (3) the amount budgeted by DoD, DoE, and State for programs that constitute the global nuclear detection strategy.
