Practical and affordable nuclear detection tools for police
Nuclear materials have never been closer to so many people, and the number of reactors, fuel movements, radioactive materials, and associated infrastructure is only increasing from here.
Police and first responders need to be ready.
Suspicious powders. Contaminated vehicles. Illegal scrap movements. Organized crime. Public event security. Unknown hazardous materials. Cross-border trafficking. Abandoned packages. Improvised environments.
In many situations, frontline officers are expected to secure scenes and make operational decisions long before specialist radiological or hazmat teams arrive.
That creates a major capability gap.
CodeNu™ dry wipes were developed to provide rapid indicative field screening for uranium and plutonium contamination directly at the operational level.
Not as a replacement for specialist nuclear response capability.
But as an additional frontline decision-support tool.
Each wipe:
- weighs less than 10 grams,
- fits easily into standard operational kit,
- requires minimal training burden,
- and can be deployed rapidly across virtually any policing environment.
Potential applications include:
- screening suspect vehicles,
- checking operational surfaces,
- assessing contamination transfer,
- screening evidence or packages,
- testing clothing or gloves,
- and rapidly identifying whether escalation may be necessary.
The operational value is simple:
If no contamination indication exists, police can continue managing incidents normally.
If contamination is indicated, specialist teams can be deployed earlier, more efficiently, and with greater situational awareness.
That means:
- faster operational awareness,
- improved scene management,
- better use of specialist resources,
- and practical frontline contamination screening capability where previously little existed.
Modern policing increasingly operates in environments defined by uncertainty.
CodeNu™ was developed to help provide actionable onsite insight where operational decisions are actually made.
