Radiation Portal Monitors for Secure, High-Volume Screening
Radiation Detection Measure offers advanced Portal Monitor systems for accurate, real-time threat detection across critical infrastructure
Overview of Portal Monitor (Radiation Portal Monitor)
Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) play a crucial role in non-intrusive inspection by automatically detecting radiation in vehicles, cargo, or individuals passing through designated checkpoints. These systems are essential in high-traffic locations such as ports, border crossings, nuclear power plants, and manufacturing sites. Equipped with high-sensitivity detectors and rapid alert mechanisms, RPMs ensure public safety and regulatory compliance while maintaining workflow efficiency.
Radiation Detection Measure supports businesses across North America with state-of-the-art RPM technologies and tailored integrations. As a trusted B2B provider, we supply scalable, reliable, and accurate portal monitor solutions to meet complex operational demands. Located at 11900 Northeast 1st Street, Bellevue, WA, 98005, USA, our team works alongside clients to ensure fast deployment, ongoing support, and long-term radiation security.
