Friday, March 12, 2004 Livermore built detector wins technology transfer awardA portable radiation detector built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that can accurately screen for dangerous radioisotopes in luggage or shipping containers and provide instantaneous results has received a technology transfer award. RadScout received a 2004 Excellence in Technology Transfer award from the Federal Laboratory Consortium. Lawrence Livermore physicist Mark Rowland, the RadScout project leader, described the detector's development as a "tour de force of integrating incompatible stuff" to produce a working technology. It was created by a team of electrical and mechanical engineers, physicists, vacuum specialists, and prototype manufacturers from Livermore labs' Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Defense and Nuclear Technologies, and Nonproliferation, Arms Control, and International Security divisions. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is operated by the University of California. To read a Livermore news release, click here.
