CAMS Can Fill Void Left by Administration's Decision to Cancel Nuclear ...

The New York Times reported that the US Administration has cancelled its nuclear weapon detection program for port scanning of cargo containers due to ineffectiveness and false positive alerts. GateKeeper USA’s (OTC: GTKP.PK) CAMS device (Container Automated Monitoring System) is the ready solution to fill the void created by the halted A.S.P. program, install effective automatic screening of cargo containers, facilitate efficient supply chain transport, alleviate cargo traffic congestion through CSI compliant ports, and ensure compliance with Public Law and the CSI.

The recent announcement by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office of DHS that their ongoing program of equipping ports across the country with Advanced Spectroscopic Portal monitors is being discontinued will render compliance with Public Law 110-53 virtually impossible. PL 110-53 mandates inspection and confirmation of safety of contents of all containers shipped into the United States beginning March, 2012. Delaying that mandate raises the risk of a non-compliant cargo container entering the supply chain, leading to a potentially catastrophic disruption of commerce and places at-risk, public safety and critical infrastructures.

GateKeeper USA has previously announced 3 party validation of the superior detection capabilities of its proprietary CAMS for CBRNE [Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive], which demonstrated that the technology inherent in its CAMS device exceeds the requirements set forth in the law, and confirms that the false-positive problem affecting competing devices currently being implemented is not an issue for CAMS. Additionally, CAMS has features not available with any other device, including video and GPS real time monitoring and detection of spoilage in perishable cargo, which are particularly appealing to large scale shippers (retailers) with a need to track in excess of one million containers each. Adoption of this technology by such shippers will serve to increase efficiency and security throughout the entire supply chain on a worldwide basis.

Windfarms prevent detection of secret nuclear weapon tests, says MoD

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is blocking plans for hundreds of wind turbines because it says their « seismic noise » will prevent the detection of nuclear explosions around the world.

The MoD claims that vibrations from new windfarms across a large area of north-west England and south-west Scotland will interfere with the operation of its seismological recording station at Eskdalemuir, near Lockerbie. The station listens out for countries secretly testing nuclear warheads in breach of the 182-nation Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty .

At a meeting today, Carlisle council rejected the latest application for six wind turbines at Hallburn Farm , near Longtown, because of the MoD’s objections . The noise from the turbines would increase interference to an unacceptable level, the MoD said.

The company that made the application, REG Windpower , warned that plans for many other windfarms in the area were similarly affected. As much as one gigawatt of renewable power was being held up by the MoD, the company told the Guardian.

This is equivalent to about a quarter of the UK’s current onshore wind capacity, and could make an important contribution to meeting UK targets to cut the pollution that is causing climate change, REG Windpower argued.

But according to the MoD, the swishing blades of wind turbines cause vibrations in the ground that can be detected by the sophisticated monitoring equipment at Eskdalemuir. The UK has an international obligation to protect the operation of the station to help prevent the spread of nuclear weapons , it said.

An expert study for the MoD concluded that although the station could cope with some seismic noise, increasing this beyond a certain level would cause interference. The limit has now been reached so the ministry is objecting to every new wind turbine within 50km of Eskdalemuir.

This has generated frustration among wind power developers because the area has many attractions for them. It has good wind speeds, is sparsely populated and is close to centres of electricity demand.
