Has independent testing verified the performance of the Secure 1000?
Yes, Sandia National Laboratories has evaluated the Secure 1000. The Sandia report concluded that “the Secure 1000 does have the applicability to detection of contraband materials” such as explosives, illegal chemicals, weapons, and special nuclear material containers, based on its test results. “In terms of safety, there appears to be no danger of radiation exposure due to a mechanical malfunction”. In addition, the radiation exposure during normal operation of the Secure 1000 was determined to be less than 10 microREM per scan, which is well below the allowable yearly dose of 100 milliREM (equivalent to 32,000 scans by the Secure 1000).
