Abstract

Control over the transportation of the radioactive materials crossing the borders of Uzbekistan is actually today not like before, because of increased threat of terrorism and urges of terrorist organizations to use radioactive materials in their terrorist activities. There are many companies producing radiation control systems. All such systems existing nowadays are based on the principles of intensity comparison for radiation detected by the system in the absence of control object and the intensity of the radiation when object appears. This method works well only in the conditions of constant or weakly changing background. However, at significant deviation in the value of background the number of false alarms set off by the systems increases. The present work describes the method for radioactive materials detection in the moving objects independent of the significant background deviations and present radiation monitoring establishment based on this principle.
