Detection tech business wins £1.5m worth of nuclear security contracts

Kromek Group, which develops radiation and bio-detection technology solutions, has secured two contracts totalling £1.5m for the supply of its D3M and D3S-based nuclear security products.

The revenue will be received in Huddersfield-based Kromek’s current financial year.

Both contracts have been secured with the business’s distribution and procurement partners, and are to supply European government end-users.

The company’s nuclear security products help guard against the threat of nuclear terrorism, accidents and the illicit movement of nuclear materials.

Kromek’s D3M is a wearable, hands free combined gamma/neutron device, which continuously scans for radiation.

And the firm’s networked static radiation detection node, which is based on the Group’s D3S technology, is a small static unit designed for radiation monitoring.

Arnab Basu, CEO, said: “As governments reconsider how they can best provide for the safety and security of their people in the face of current geopolitical tension, demand for our nuclear radiation detection technology continues to be strong.

“These orders, which have been secured via our new partners, further validate the strength of our offer. We look forward to delivering these contracts and I am confident that we will continue to see further growth in our chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear segments.”
