Review: The instruments used by front-line law enforcement officers to detect and characterise radioactive material are: fixed radiation portal monitors, personal radiation detectors, hand-held radionuclide identification devices and hand- held neutron search detectors This booklet provides the system parameters that can be used as specifications for how such equipment will actually be deployed for border security applications, rather than for comparisons of equipment from various manufacturers. The publication can be used by IAEA Member States to test border radiation equipment for conformity with the standards, or for guidance in equipment procurement.
