Since 2004, the ORTEC Detective Family of Handheld Radioisotope Identifiers (RIIDS) have been at the forefront of operations to intercept illicit trafficking of nuclear materials worldwide. ORTEC RIIDS are used daily by organizations such as:
Departments of Homeland Security
Departments of Defense
National Security Organizations
Bomb Disposal Teams
Emergency Response Teams
Customs and Border Control
Navy, Army and Air Forces
Emergency Management Teams
Civil Support Teams
Police Departments
Nuclear Safeguards Organizations
Nuclear Fuel Manufacturers
Nuclear Researchers
US NNSA Second Line of Defense "Megaports" Initiative
Traffic Authorities
All Detective instruments base their superior performance on ORTEC's cryogenically cooled HPGe (high purity germanate) detectors coupled with unique identification algorithms developed from an original Technology Transfer License from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (TL-01754-03 and TL-01753-03) and refined based on actual field experience.
