Homeland Security

When Homeland Security is considered, it is almost typically thought of in terms of an active shooter or a bomber. This means the police, SWAT, bomb squad, emergency services such as EMTs, and other responders. Terrorist activity: from dirty bombs in backpacks to radioactive material dumped in reservoirs, depleted uranium bullets, and other tactical ordnance, to radioactive smoke coming out of a burning medical facility or industry. The need to protect First Responders from encountering a radioactive threat is essential. Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, has developed an exceptional suite of instruments to provide that security in the evaluation of the threat at hand, prior to initial response.
