Lawrence Livermore, VeriTainer Agreement

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and VeriTainer Corporation have entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). The CRADA will be used to refine and enhance VeriTainer’s patented crane mounted scanning (CMS) technology. The CRADA will be in place for three-and-a-half years and require approximately $4m in funding. LLNL will work in cooperation with VeriTainer’s scientists and engineers to enhance both gamma and neutron detection sensitivity, while maintaining the capabilities of VeriTainer’s CMS. The system has been operated for the past four years in field tests run at three ports and in five different terminals.

QinetiQ, VeriTainer Team on Port Security Solution

QinetiQ North America (QNA) teamed with VeriTainer Corporation to provide its radiation scanning solution to ports. VeriTainer Corp. has developed the VeriSpreader, a crane-mounted device that scans containers in real time for dangerous radiation as they are being loaded and discharged from container ships. The teaming agreement couples VeriTainer’s technology with QNA’s systems engineering and data analysis capability to deliver scanning technology to ports. The agreement comes on the heels of VeriTainer's two Oakland Pilot Projects, the second of which concludes later this month. The Oakland test program demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of this technology…
