The Integrated Container Inspection System (ICIS) comprised of a Portal VACIS, Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM), OCR Automated Container Identification, radioisotope identification, material specific inspection using neutron interrogation and an integrated data display and analysis system shows considerable promise for significantly enhancing capability to detect nuclear weapons and nuclear and other radioactive material in containers. The VACIS and RPM have complementary capabilities since VACIS can detect the attempt to shield a radioactive source using dense materials by imaging the dense material anomaly.
The VACIS product line continues to evolve into new applications and to adapt to changing user requirements. The automated empties system provides a commercial platform that will ultimately reduce costs and improve safety and performance at container terminals. The next generation of high-resolution detectors provides significantly enhanced spatial resolution for low-attenuation objects while maintaining system throughput.
