County Durham's Kromek has secured a £554,000 ($695,000) order to provide wearable radiation detection equipment to a customer in the US.
The repeat order from a US federal organisation follows the awarding of a £1.2m ($1.6m) two-year contract in September 2021 and will help armed forces, border security and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear experts to detect threats such as dirty bombs and radioactive contamination.
Kromek's D3S-ID equipment is said to be one of the fastest and most accurate isotope identification devices on the market for first responders.
