COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July 16 -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
Radiation portal monitors are used around the world to detect the illegal transportation of radioactive material at border crossings and points of entry. These portal monitors utilize scintillating detectors composed of polyvinyl toluene (PVT) plastic to screen vehicles and cargo for gamma-ray emissions that would indicate the presence of radioactive materials.
