Swedish customs CBRN-vanAnother shot of one of the customs CBRN vans.
Their objective is to patrol the Swedish shoretline as well as making spot tests in our harbours. Besides that, they are able to assist at accidens and crimes involving hazardous materials. They always drive around with a very sensitive gamma spectrometer turned on, which not only detects radiation, it tells which source material it originated from as well. Additionally, they can detect emitted neutrons, making it possible to detect radioactive material even when the source is heavily shielded.

Right now, they are looking at adding even more sensors capable of detecting other hazardous chemicals (besides the war gasses which it already detects) as well as adding detectors for explosives.
