Kromek radiation detector deployed during Trump trip

Radiation detection technology company Kromek confirmed on Monday that its next generation standalone radiation detector, D3S-ID, was deployed by European Commission Counter Terrorism Unit of Directorate General for Home Affairs in Brussels recently.

The AIM-traded firm said the D3S-ID was part of security operations deployed during the NATO Security Summit and US President Donald Trump's visit to Brussels last month.

It said the European Commission and Belgian Federal Police officers deployed D3S-ID at different locations including Brussels airport and the European Council headquarters.

Kromek was informed that the deployment was successful and its radiation detection systems performed well and met the desired high standards for accuracy and efficiency.

“We are delighted to be part of the security system that was deployed during President Trump's visit to Brussels,” said Kromek chief executive officer Arnab Basu.

“Specifically, we were pleased that the deployment was successful and that our detectors achieved the necessary high standards.

“We look forward to continuing our work with the European Commission, DARPA and other national law enforcement agencies to deploy our best-of-breed radiation detectors to protect people and property,” Dr Basu added.
