Introduction of Sino-US Megaports Initiative DANG Xiaohong May, 2009
Summary Background of Sino-US MI Development of Sino-US MI Measures taken by China Customs
Background Recognizing the increasing terrorists’ threats to global security, DOE proposed Megaports Initiative, in desire to prevent the illicit trafficking in nuclear and other radioactive material through providing technical assistance and installing detective systems in foreign partner countries.
Summary Background of Sino-US MI Development of Sino-US MI Measures taken by China Customs
Development • Jan 2004,US government proposed China government to join MI • Sep 2005,Joint Statement of Intent was signed • Nov 2005,Memorandum of Understanding (MOU )was forged
Development • May 2007,11 Annexes to MOU was finalized. • Sep 2007,Shanghai Port was designated as pilot port, which marked the pilot project was launched. • Sep 2007 -2008,Site and Engineering Surveys were conducted jointly with Chinese and US experts,and Conceptual Design Document was initially written。
Steps of Operations • Detection • Radiation detection by RPM • Locating • Radioactive source locating by Survey Meter • Confirmation • Radioactive source confirmation by RIID
Steps of Operations Principles Primary inspection at port gate for shorter operation time. Use of container scanner and RPM for further inspection. Suspected containers move to special site for physical exam.
Steps of Operations -process RPM at port gate Central process Scanner/RPM Physical exam Central process RPM Turn over
Steps of Operations -process No Alarm/Pass Negative RPM at port gate Negative Alarm Positive Central Process Scanner/RPM Physical Exam 中央处理 Positive Central Process RPM Turn-over
-Equipment Requirement Steps of Operations • Install RPM at the port gates • Add RPM before container scanner • Install RPM at Customs Inspection Site for further confirmation when the container scanner is out of operation.
-Equipment Requirement Steps of Operations • Add central control function to container scanner image analysis center. • Build up RPM central control center at Customs inspection site.
