Equipping NPP checkpoints with radio wave scanners

Project goals

Ensuring non-contact screening of NPP personnel and visitors to prevent carrying of unauthorized items, including weapons and ammunition.

Project deadlines

May 2008 – September 2008

Project info

In the implementation of the program to improve the security of critical infrastructure facilities (NPP, nuclear power plants), Borlas Group introduced scanning portals to inspect NPP personnel and visitors. The portals are developed on the basis of SafeScout radio wave scanners (currently ProVision 2). This high-tech equipment is provided at checkpoints of eight NPP.

It takes 6–8 seconds for portals to detect hazardous substances and products made of any materials, including:

  • Explosives, explosive devices, ammunition, firearms and edged weapons (including ceramic);
  • Drugs;
  • Very poisonous and other dangerous substances in closed containers;
  • Photo, video and audio recording devices, mobile communications;
  • Radioactive and biological materials.

These portals also guarantee the detection of storage devices and minimize the likelihood of theft. The screening system never harms people, which is supported by numerous tests held and certificates.

Borlas Group delivered solution tailored to the Customer's facilities. Our experts developed and implemented personnel screening technique using scanners and trained security personnel to operate the equipment.

Project results

  • Minimization of the human factor in inspection of people;
  • Development of effective system to provide industrial and economic safety of the facility, increasing its security level.
