Innovative explosives and drugs detectors will be installed at passenger examination and luggage inspection points of major train stations in Russia’s South, RIA Novosti reports, citing detector producer Neutron Technologies.

According to the maker, a contract for supply of 21 DVIN-1 portable detection complexes has been concluded with Russian Railways; the devices will be mounted at train station of the Volga and North-Caucasus Federal Districts.

The sensor reportedly identifies more than 30 explosives, narcotics and virulent poisons including hexogen, plastic explosives, cocaine, heroin and chloroacetophenol.

“A hazardous substance is detected automatically in an unmanned mode. In a passive mode, with the neutron generator off, the system identifies radioactive substances,” a producer spokesman explains.

The DVIN-1 portable detection complexes will soon be installed in such cities as Anapa, Adler, Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Volgodonsk, Derbent, Kizlyar, Kislovodsk, Krasnodar, Lazarevskoye, Makhachkala, Mineralnye Vody, Nalcjik, Novorossiisk, Prokhladnoye, Pyatigorsk, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi, Stavropol, and Tuapse.

Neutron Technologies is one of Rusnano’s project companies set up to start serial production of explosives and drugs detectors using the ‘tracer’ neutron technique. In addition to Rusnano, its founders include Dubna-based United Institute of Nuclear Research and OOO DViN.

Mass production of up to 100 explosives and drugs detecting systems a year will be reportedly set up in Dubna, Moscow region. The company’s existing production line is enough to supply up to 30 such systems this year already, the source said.
