Vehicle for radioactive material transport

The transport of radioactive sources presents a high risk in all scenarios, as it is during this phase that these sources are most vulnerable to theft or malicious acts. Most incidents involving the theft of radioactive sources occur during transport, despite the warning signage indicating the presence of radioactive material on the vehicles.

In some cases, the theft may be directed at the vehicle itself rather than the sources, but this can still result in the materials falling into the hands of malicious individuals who could carry out a radiological attack.

The storage area is designed with three openings: two side doors—one leading to the storage room and the other to the equipment room—and a top cover.

These systems offer over 6 hours of autonomy and are self-charging through the vehicle's engine. They can also be recharged via a standard electrical outlet at any facility.

In the event of an attack, the vehicle driver can send panic alerts that will be received at the company's or facility's office associated with the vehicle. The combination of these features provides an effective solution to mitigate the risks associated with the transport of radioactive sources.

Structurally, the storage area has three openings: side doors (one providing access to the storage room and another to the equipment room) and a top cover.

Inside, it includes CCTV cameras (dome cameras), biometric access control at each of the side entry doors, and removable radioactive logos (to be installed as needed during transport). On the outside, four CCTV cameras can be optionally installed (one for each of the four sides).
